Coming Soon / Blog post. (Patreon)

I'm working every day, thanks to you and your support! :D

Last night I finished the pinup of Violet and it's ... beautiful! *_* I am so satisfied that I will certainly make high quality prints of this collection! Would you like to have one of these prints of the completed collection? Or a portfolio with the most black and white color prints?

In 2000/2003 I sold my prints on the Furbid auction site, all over the world. I remember that since there was no paypal ... they sent me the dollars in a sealed envelope at home in Rome XD, when I opened the envelopes, and I found the dollars, shipped from all over America, it was great to see the stamps and adhesive stamps, sometimes they also sent written words and drawings, I kept them ALL, I have a folder with all the letters of my buyers!

I also won a contest on Furbid in 2004, one of my characters became one of the official mascots of Furbid for years, above a banner. I won against hundreds of artist! :O And PBB was not yet known or famous. The mascot was a raccoon similar to Violet, with a rainbow tail. Does anyone remember it? 

From Wikifur: " On June 17, 2004, Ayukawataur reopened the idea of a mascot for  FurBid-SF, or, to be more precise, as FurBid-SF is a community, a group  of mascots. Of the many mascot ideas submitted, five were selected by  community vote on August 15, 2004. Breeze returned, this time to take  the greatest portion of votes (62.04%), followed by Rachele, Faria,  Keesa, and Seru."

The winner official new mascots are supposed to be five and mine won by placing second place . Rachele was affixed to the homepage banner for a period of time, for years, but was then eliminated because:

"Although the mascots were originally intended to maintain a presence on  FurBid-SF itself and to provide a measure of community spirit, the only  work using them so far has been by Kacey Miyagami. "

I have not won anything in money, nor glory, because my name has been deleted from the drawing and the drawing has been traced and colored by another artist in pencil. If I find the file in my hard disk the next time I can show you the drawing that won the mascot contest. 

Here is the announcement of results :  https://archive.is/s9IZb 

Rachele   40.74%   Second Place.

My name does not even appear on WikiFur but I would love it! It would be honorable for me to be recognized after almost 20 years that Rachele Raccoon was my work :) http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/FurBid-SF

So next Wednesday you will receive this pinup, in various formats compared to your tier: 100-125-150 and HD 182 DPI. The only reason why I do not give the 300 dpi drawings on Patreon is to keep the maximum resolution for prints for me, to sold in the future in an artbook. If I can :)  

From today I start working on the drawings on pag.05 ... where we will be catapulted in the London of 1895 !!!

It will be delirious to draw a look-out view of London, but I can not wait to draw the BigBen XD
