Nuki News #40: Design Practice
I’ve been going through a tutorial on Ctrl Paint about Design Basics. https://ctrlpaint.myshopify.com/collections/design/products/design-basics-2-shapeAlthough I’ve been drawing for 10 years, ‘design’ often eluded me. I went to college for design(Websites & graphic design for logos/posters) ...
Nuki News #39: A Year Conquered!
More like ‘A Year Survived’, but, it’s officially come to its close. We’ve slain the beast by persevering through it and all of the difficulties it brought. In quite a few ways I’m still not used to this, but I’ll hope for clearer skies in this next year.The point of this post though, th...

Nuki News #37: Comparing Yourself
I Found Someone Better than Me.Before you panic; don’t worry! This post isn’t to put myself down! This is more a post to help others who may go through the difficulties one faces when comparing yourself to others- it’s something my younger self likely felt at some point too. This is an inevita...

That means you should read part 1 if you haven’t, you can find that post over here:Part 1: https://www.patreon.com/posts/43790388So 2014 came around and I was then focusing on improving my skills and getting int...
Nuki News #34: Where it Began (2010 - 2013)
So! I’m gunna do a 3-parter Nukinews going over the last 10 years and my relationship with art; starting from when I was 17 to now, when I’m 27. Honestly wonder how I’d feel, if I got to meet 27 year old me, and see what I was doing and capable of doing now! I think it’s very safe to say I...
Nuki News #33: Taking the Big Risk
After going through October, I’ve come to the conclusion that it is time to move on from my day job, and do art full-time. Looking back at the start of October, I think that’s why I was so nervous initially. Because inside I knew I should pursue my calling, my heart’s desire sooner than later....
Nuki News #32: Don't Assume the Worst!
I know we’ve all heard that adage of “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst”. It was something my mom would tell me often growing up, so I’ve internalized it a fair bit. Maybe you could see the current situation in the world as the worst outcome we could find ourselves, and we for sure we...

Nuki News #31: FFIV - Reflections
Final Fantasy IV…! A classic JRPG and not only is it my first Final Fantasy I played, but my first JRPG in general, aside from the pokemon games, of course. I got to play it on my beloved Gameboy Advance. When you’re younger, you don’t scrutinize details as much in a story, so I never really u...
Nuki News #30: Intimidating Prospects
I noticed when planning October, I was hesitating. I felt like there should be something I try to accomplish this month, outside of streaming every week, and meeting a financial goal I set to earn. I still might- maybe a PWYW sketch commission stream on my birthday? Still, I just realize there’s a...
Nuki News #29: We're 9 out of 12!
We’re still here, glad to be, as hard as 2020 has been for all of us. I think I’ve noticed this segment of the year(Jul/Aug/Sept) is mentally/emotionally challenging for me throughout my life. It’s the 2nd quarter of the year(going into spring and summer, Apr/May/June where I hit on a peak and...
Nuki News #28: Priorities and Education!
Previous Artie Asks Artists Post:https://www.patreon.com/posts/41431795I’m having another double-feature post for this one, since I actually went over the ‘scheduling’ part in a previous Nuki News this year, but I’ll go into something about the aspect of prioritizing I gleaned from reading t...

We went from mental health to physical health in this mini-series of Artie-...
Nuki News #25: Physical Foibles!
Previous Artie Asks Artists Post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/40387328I just finished my 50th live stream this year, meeting my goal 4 months sooner than anticipated, which is great! Gotta say though, drawing for 12 hours is pretty intense, and is not going to be something I aim to repeat any time...

Nuki News #23: Keep it Fresh!
Previous Artie Asks Artists post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/39850289I got to have a reprieve this week off from work. It’s nice to dedicate a full day to a nuki news post rather than try to squeeze it in parts over a few days to make the most of a weekend! Anyway, I wanted to talk about the 3r...
Nuki News #22: Biggest Factor for Success?
Previous Artie Asks Artists post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/39351636What a mentally exhausting week. I have to admit that I think I have depressive low points at this time of year, from late July till late August. It’s probably the heat, but as you are no doubt experiencing yourself, the quara...

Nuki News #21: Most Successful Commissions?
So! I mentioned in my half-year review that I’ve created a sort of questionnaire to give to artists who have been walking the path I aim to traverse in the future. I sent this questionnaire to as many full-time furry artists as I followed! I got a total of 12 responses, and I have made about 12 po...
Nuki News #20 - Fatherhood.
I didn’t expect to ever write or talk about this, but it’s come to my mind due to the last Father’s Day passing us by. I don’t want to touch the prickly pear with the USA’s dad/father figure problem(or families that lack a father figure). More that I want to offer an idea of what Fatherhoo...
Nuki News #19 - Half a Year Down! Another to go!
I gotta say, June particularly flew by after the initial week. With another 3 months passing and marking half of the year being over, there’s a fair bit to discuss. But first, to get you up to speed, I’d reread my first quarter review here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/nuki-news-10-3-35784368Goi...
Nuki News #18 - Why Bellies?
If you know me, I have a very strong interest in bellies. I think since this interest has played a large part in my time in the fur community, I feel it’s good to dedicate at least 1 post to why I focus on them so much!The fur community is what allowed me to explore this part of myself that has al...
