Hello everybody! I hope you too had an acceptable start into the new year! At least mine was, got a solid burn on my right thumb, but it wasn't as bad as I feared, pfff. I really missed having fireworks, it was great.

In connection to the last journal https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10418112/ , I want to let you know a few things.

Many of my journals are usually about negative things that by nature aren't very uplifting, however I always thought that I have to let people know when something holds me back (I want to change things up and report on better stuff as well, because we all can use some higher vibes).

Since I last posted in December, death and sickness had been the talking point almost every day. After 4-5 weeks it's begun to notably wear on my overall mood, to a degree where I had to bring it up and draw myself out of things just so I can somewhat focus on my work.

It turned me into a pretty sour, jealous and spiteful person lately. That only brings out the worst and I very much don't like it one bit, because that is neither who I usually am nor who I want to be.

Well now that you know that, on top of my burnout late last year, I have also become a bit insecure and very anxious, especially since I do not wish to half-ass the pictures YOU guys'n gals paid me to do, you know, just to get it out of the way, ain't gonna happen. Your hard earned money is gonna be rewarded with the best I can do.

So.

I'm working my way back, slowly but surely. Intention is to get the comic back going, major enemy there too being anxiety, I admit. I want to hit some of my books again and refresh some of my knowledge so I can tackle the things that can be improved more efficiently.

I recently went through my furry art collections to correctly sort and also delete a few things. Apart from my brain starting to go on strike after 25.000 images (and that wasn't even all of it lol), I always find it interesting to see how furry art has evolved since I started saving images I like in 2008.

That of course includes my own stuff as well. Sometimes I feel like I'm stuck in an underdog state. Other artists reel in great numbers and traffic, but I feel that I don't (I'm still a number slut, I know it's not very great...).

But as I mentioned, things have been moving since 2008, not only in terms of skill, but also in style and feel. My 2010-13 images don't really feel like those from 2016-17 and likewise the sort of transitional period I had in 18-21 also feels pretty different (to me at least.)

I'm always on this train of thinking that it's one continuous line, when it probably really isn't. From the bottom of my heart, I appreciate that you folks seem to equally like what I put out, be it dragons OR dinosaurs from various franchises!

Overall, I like the direction I started to take last year and I want to keep improving on that level for the time being, since I feel I need to do more of that, the visuals seem to favor my preferences.

The big new thing I still want to get into is telling little stories; something that has been missing more often than not.

Well well... that broadly renders out what I wanted to tell you folks. I hope you have a great rest of your day and don't hesitate to pay me a visit in one of my streams! :)

Hey everyone!

I thought it's a good time again to let you know what my agenda has been and what it will be for the upcoming weeks.

As you may (or may not) have noticed (yet), things have been on a good upturn for my work this year so far. The second quarter is not even over yet and I already surpassed my entire output of 2021 by 5 pieces; there are a few more commissions in there too now, thank god.

Recently I was actually feeling this though as my arm became increasingly heavy, so it's not that I am burned out on things, I rather literally have to take it a bit slower for a while because my body says so.

What I wanna do right now is completing the size charts, with which I am already halfway through with, plus a little extra, however that flows a bit into Patreon work. After that there will of course be a row of commissions again to keep up the momentum there.

And last not least, I want to put up an on FA again which can then run from July to end of the year. I noticed having one is still better than having none.

In the meantime, I hope all of you stay safe and tune and anticipate more from me! *thumbs up*

Contact:

Trias-Works#4095 / commissiontrias@gmail.com

(Questions, inquiries and anything regarding commissions can be discussed via Discord)

Watch me live! https://picarto.tv/Trias

WIPs:

After all necessary points have been negotiated and agreed upon i.e. pose, level of elaboration etc., you will receive a draft to look over. If you do NOT approve of the initial take, you may request the necessary changes needed to your likeness. After approval, NO further WIPs will be shown to ensure a quicker workflow (which is why everything is talked about beforehand!).

You can eventually watch me work on your piece on my picarto channel: https://picarto.tv/Trias

If you have an account there, make sure to either activate the notification system for when I go live OR you can look out for my personal notifications, the most frequent ones will be on my discord server and often times FurAffinity, DeviantArt, InkBunny and Twitter!

What you receive on completion of your piece:

Once your commission is completed, you will get the finished work in two sizes (one is more a thumbnail format), as well as the draft stage sketch, the clear line version and the flat colored one, (they all are in .jpg!).

Due to Discords filesize limitation, I will unfortunately have to send you the master file still via e-mail. The master file is suitable for printing, in the maximum resolution, ca. 3000-5000px and in the .png format (master files won't be made for sketches!).

Discounts:

Repeat customers can enjoy a 5% discount on the second commission which goes up to 10% on the third and all there on out. I reset these conditions 2 years after the last piece was initially commissioned.

Payment:

PayPal only and in advance. When the payment is all done, you will be put on my FA's profile comissioners list under either your FA name or the one you use most frequently (i.e. you perhaps only have a DeviantArt account, etc.)

Price estimation:

I calculate prices roughly by the estimated time it takes me to finish them, round about 10-12$ (USD) per hour. If you want, for example, a very complicated background like a full landscape, I will charge an additional 30-40$ because those usually can take up to 4 hours or more. Something similar applies to characters with a lot of details i.e. a high number of horns, more complicated outfits and the like.

When the background is less important and just meant to fill in a void, for example simple color gradients or even photos or screencaps, I calculate next to none for them since the process of making those takes usually much less than an hour (I still edit and adjust them regardless).

Patreon Works (FYI only):

The highest tier supporters of my patreon hand in commissions on a much looser basis at a reduced price. I work on them less frequently, but they are there and on schedule nonetheless.

Limit:

My monthly limit of new commissions is 4 pieces, regardless of the elaboration level.

Hello everyone!

So recently I have been diving back into The Land Before Time a bit and it still seems to be very appreciated by you folks.

As some of you might remember, I had a comic going on with Littlefoot and Cera, which I had to lay on ice due to the failure of my promotion in 2019 and 2020.

I do consider doing a number of things I strongly, STRONGLY believe most of you will highly appreciate. For example either a revival of the old comic idea, or an overhaul or even a different idea entirely. Other things I have had on my mind for some time now are image sets, mainly of Dragon Tales, however I could warm up to the idea of doing those with LBT characters as well; and if it is neither of these, there are also still my own characters.

The big HOWEVER on all of these ideas though is the funding. I have refrained myself from plugging my patreon page too much for the sake of non-intrusiveness; the result being that it barely grew over the course of 3 years.

There have been plenty of people telling me how much they would like a comic done by me including the subjects I mentioned above, but that's only possible if I finally reach my 1st patreon goal of overall 500$ a month; then I can tone back taking in new commissions and invest the necessary time and power to achieve this in a realistic amount of time.

Not gonna lie to you, I feel bad writing this. It feels like begging. Regardless though it doesn't outweigh the feeling of stagnation that has been plaguing me for quite some time now.

I wouldn't come out like this if I wouldn't believe that I can deliver something worthwhile for you.

With the necessary support from you, an immense weight would be lifted off my shoulders, it really would.

So I request you, do pledge to my patreon and if you can't or don't want, tell others who might be interested. From the next work onwards, I will also remove the “Do Not Repost” caption from my jpg's and furthermore encourage you to share my work.

Closing this, if you already are or consider becoming a supporter of mine, never hesitate with feedback and suggestions about what you expect my patreon to be like, like polls on things, dedicated themes for something, along these lines.

Hellas everybody, it's one of THOSE journals again!

First things first: there is a new server of mine finally ready to roll: https://discord.gg/UBJ7tsjB

A few comments on how it works:

-you can join the server to get notified about streams

-in order to access the major areas you must be an entry level patron of mine

-for the entire server, you should be serious and in the financial position to support me with the 7USD tier

The structure is arguably sterner than the old server and much more adjusted to its purpose than the old one was, granting a better, more exclusive atmosphere for my supporters.

In other news, I caught a cold (nothing too heavy though, which is actually nice for a change) and am working on tackling the commissions. I already stated my stance on 2021 and can safely say that lessons were definitely learned.

Stay tuned for more streams and always remember that stagnation can't be a thing!

Yes folks, I suppose the craziest year for most of us is about to end. Many folks won't shed a tear I guess, me included, all things considered.

I too want to thank all of you old and new fans, supporters and friends!

Swimming against the stream, despite everything, for me personally 2020 was a huge improvement over 2019, but since so many of the people I know had so many problems, this year still goes out with a damp blanket over it because of that.

My heart and thoughts go out to all of those who had it so much worse than me, I hope all of you will see a turn of the tide!

Regarding myself, I was able to increase my output significantly. The only drawback there being that most of the good stuff happened in the background and I have yet to put it upfront, but looking back to 2019, I gladly take that as it is.

So what's next in 2021?

Well I definitely want to direct my focus on results now, usually I am not the type who puts much value to new years resolutions, but this time around I believe it makes sense.

2020 consisted of practice in large portions, practice that needs to settle down over a longer time than just a few months; since I didn't only work through two entire books from head to toe, but also made major changes to my techniques.

I also wanted to put some more focus on my Ocs and their lore, yet I just found myself taking almost 200 new screen-caps from Dragon Tales, so I just won't promise there won't be dragons in the mix x3

Out of the franchises I ventured forward to, Dragon Tales really grew on me the most...

This shall be it, hit the bottles, meet some friends and drink on the new year 2021 ~ I see you guys again soon!

All the best,

~Trias

Hello everyone, I would like to request your attention for a little bit.

Some of you might have noticed and increase of LBT themed streams that I do lately. This is because I decided to push my comic project forward as hard as I can now.

I fully rendered the basic concept for it last year, so it is a cohesive thing not made up on the spot. Since I sharpened my knowledge about figure drawing, I gave the better drafts massive overhauls to up the quality and I intend to do so continuously as I move along turning the concept sketches into usable line-work.

For those who aren't aware yet, the comic will utilize a format-ratio fitting for monitors, with a more digestible amount of panels per page; something I am not aware of having seen very often yet.

So far, most of you guys seemed to like my take on the franchise quite a bit, which is both surprising and flattering for me; so a huge thank-you in advance just for that alone!

Now, before you worry, I WILL keep working on commissions in-between, preferably every week. I make the bold assumption that I can do this faster now than in the previous 6 months, because the things I learned are settling in now and my speed has increased.

NO COMMISSIONER WILL BE FORGOTTEN ~ EVERYTHING KEEPS GOING!

In the next 2-3 weeks I will post a couple of pictures as well as sketch samples of the comic to enhance its promotion. That way you will get a much better idea of what it is going to look like.

Usually I wouldn't do it like this, but if you like everything so far, then I want to request you supporting the comic on Patreon with the 7$ tier I set-up; IF you want me to successfully complete this project and do more from there.

It would take a big burden off my back and reassure me that I can deliver something you guys appreciate and want to see ~ so... I'd love to make this a reality :)

Stay tuned for more!

Hello folks!

So it turns out that my old commission hotmail account is permanently lost... awesome :C

...which is why I made a new one if you want to "commission Trias", you can send me your idea and all that jazz to:

"commission-trias@hotmail.com" if you wanna get the ball rolling C:

Thanks for reading!

~Trias

Hi everyone!

So yeah, I decided it might be fun to share my art artwork here on newgrounds, as I heard it's and open and friendly community, which I appreciate!

I mainly specialise in scaly characters with a strong focus on dinosaurs. Of course I draw things besides that and like to explore, but as you will see in my gallery I have pretty clear preferences :)

Since 2006 I have been active and sharing artwork in the furry community as it is the go-to platform to promote and share my content, that being anthropomorphic characters.

In case you like the stuff I put out and are interested in a commission, please feel free to drop me a note about it.

Cheers!

~Trias
