Hey everyone, my name is Richard K Niner, or RK for short.

I'm a doggo from Toronto who likes to fursuit, draw, and occasionally snap photos or watch sports, though I know better than to bore most of you with that last one.

@rkniner And while I'm griping about this, I didn't even fill in my phone number (that wasn't even an option on your web form). WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME?

@rkniner Bonus demerits when I can tell your rep is just reading a script really fast. Seriously, just email that to me so I can parse it when I have time

Psst, companies: if I'm filling out your contact form online and asking for a response, I would rather get an email than a call (2 days later) while I'm in the middle of a meeting at work.

If I wanted to deal with things by phone, I'd call

Me, over a decade ago: drawing all the time because I was too cheap to pay for a commission.

Me, today: placed 15 comms since July of last year.

How things have changed...

I can has hug?

Just got this adorable sketch from oakleyscons on Twitter

Guess whose building lost all its power ten minutes ago

Decided to give Femi's ref sheet an update!

Gonna have to add this to the list of things I messed up this week after completely forgetting about last night's dental appointment despite all the reminders I got the past two weeks

*tries to share an NSFW pic from my phone to myself so I can save it on my computer*

*thanks to a recent email conversation, my email address is swapped with my mom's when I tap to add it*

*I don't realize until 10 minutes later when I notice it's not in my inbox*

Working on an updated ref sheet for Femi (the girl version of RK) this week.

For a while, I've been drawing her with *ahem* certain extra body parts (33% of sketches & all but 1 other pic since the last ref). Wondering if I should make it canon...

Checking back, I've been drawing Femi more often since 2018, though outside a couple one-offs, I didn't add the extra anatomy regularly until 2020.

I'm kinda used to it now, but it still feels like I might be doing something wrong.

Thinking ahead to next year, and considering what cons to try attending.

Based on feedback, I was thinking of doing ANE in Boston (for the third time), but after getting an alert that flight prices have dropped, I'm wondering if it might be worth trying Scotiacon instead (I have a local friend who's already going, and if I went it would be my first time)

Wondering if I should make the switch...

Another teaser...

Oh look, a followbot *blocks*

Confession: the more I follow politics, the more I'm convinced that the mainstream ostensibly-left-wing parties keep shifting to the right because they don't want to govern and would rather collect donations as an opposition party

Tried that drawing from a few days ago again, feels a bit better

Guess what I'm working on…

Thinking about possible cons to attend in the first 3 months of 2023...

Which one should I go to? (If it's not in the poll, I'm open to other suggestions)

Confession: if I lived close to the ground floor of this condo, I'd probably be tempted to head down to the source of all these fire alarms (parking level 1). Out of curiosity.

@rkniner Went back over the lines, still feels like this needs some cleanup

Just put pencil to paper for the first time in over 8 months
