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, the final NukiNews of 2020, is to go over ...

So, with the last Nuki News of the year being on the 30th, I wanna do somethin’ different here and get your thoughts on the series, Nuki News itself!
Namely, what have you enjoyed about these? Has there been a favorite Nuki News post of yours? Multiple? Did you go through the trouble of reading some of the...

Well well well! The final Ask Artie Anything for the year! I want to thank all of the $5+ patrons that have been supporting me during such a turbulent time especially. I hope these have been fun for yall to see me drawing the answers to these- I only just now feel myself getting the hang of it, haha.

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 inevitable part of being a c...

Depicted is my attempt at drawing Artie Nuki's old design, haha! Part 3 of a post series where I’m going over my last 10 years with art! If you haven’t read the previous 2 posts, that’s really weird of you to decide to read this one first!
My monthly post where I give answers to questions the $5 tier patrons get to ask each month where I draw the answers! Thank you to Sunny, Regdeh, and Gorgilisk for your questions, heheh!

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’m so glad I started drawing when I did, so let...

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.
But why now? After working here for 4 ye...

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 were not prepared for it. Because of that, I thin...

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 understood until replaying the game this month j...

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 lot I’d need to start pushing for myself to ...

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 then drop my momentum. It’s got me thinking ...

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 points/conclusions from their personal pers...

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 Fatherhood is to me. It’s a person or figure providing...
