Art Fight 2023  Werewolves By Keali

I'm on team awoo after being randomly sorted. Becauuuuuse I wasn't vibing with either of em.

Not sure how many here still post (I will never catch up to the inbox, you deserve better!) and read journals- but I am once again here, doing art fight! So here's my card! I drew my own this year! ^^

Someone claiming to be from America, employed in Yemen on a peacekeeping mission, contacted me. They claimed to be a surgeon, but their grammar is pretty poor. I did a quick search and found that there is a scam running (primarily on dating sites) where people claim to be surgeons/peacekeepers who are surgeons, employed in Yemen, and then ask you for your information, then later after they gain your trust, they ask for money for vacation pay or a visa.


The thing is. The UN doesn't send doctors to Yemen, due to the current risks. So, a fairly new member to our website faved a bunch of my art, then within the same minute sent me a chat request with this starting message (I'm omitting the name but you can ask me in notes).

I already got some weird red flags since I had watched James Veitch talking about scammers(is a fun watch regardless). So after I searched and got Quora talking about this being a thing, I stopped replying and blocked them. Since they wanted to know my name. Now, my name is not hidden, and maybe it should be- however, if they are such fans on my work, then it would be plain. I feel it's just normal to call new people you talk with, by their usernames, until like a year or so has passed.

Also, I went to check, and lo and behold. While I thought he faved some pretty obscure pieces... he literally faved the promo reel at the top of my profile!! XD! WOW!

So yeah, please look out for yourself. This deviant has a lot of red flags, but just in case they're just super unfortunate, I won't me saying their name here.


Take care of yourself, be wary of some things. Also the person is blocked now so I can't reverse image search the ONE piece that they posted... I might unblock them and check. What do you think?

Hey everyone!


My friend Arvata has tipped me, and everyone, about this new artsite named https://buzzly.art/

The site has it's own look, but it feels more like dA pre-eclipse. I want to give it a shot.


So I'll be cross posting, so both on dA and on buzzly. Though I will be re-posting some recent art from dA over on buzzly to not have a completely empty gallery. XD I have no plans of deleting my dA, ever, since while I have some issues with this site. It's still the first art site that I ever used. I have some of my oldest pieces here. And I'll need a hefty external hard drive to copy down and preserve all of it.


If you're already on buzzly and want to follow me, this is my link! https://buzzly.art/~Keali I want to be more active with people I watch, and dA has a weird watch-post bug that refuses to delete images that I've commented on, thereby flooding my watch inbox, so it's not so easy to keep up.


Hope you're all staying safe! Chas pa duri!

Back from break

Hey folks.


It's been a while. I've given promises, which I haven't delivered on. At all. I think I got stage fright. I seized up, clammed shut. But I'm gonna push on through now after a break.

I was working on a prologue part for the comic, but got stuck on it since I don't feel I have what it takes to translate what's in my mind, to the page.

So I will continue on the comic instead! I've run out of a buffer, so I will have to replenish it. But I also want to continue posting!

Patreon will of course get the buffer pages as early as possible(at least a week in advance), along with behind the scene stuff, like thumbnails, sketches, me rambling about lore.

Thanks for sticking with me! I'll try my best to be consistent. I wish someone would hold me a bit accountable with the updating part, but we're all grown-ups. No one can do that but me. I am my own boss. Even though it's my patreons that pay me, so I often think of them as my boss. However, they didn't sign up for babysitting me, so I gotta do better!

However, any comments, feedback, or questions, does help me stay motivated. So if you like my comic and stories, please interact. It means more to me than you might think. I do try and listen when people have constructive feedback. Oh, and deviantart has started with some sort of subscriber thing. I won't be using that. I'm sticking to patreon. This comic will only ever have buffer pages hidden behind a paywall as a form to thank the people supporting me.

Okay, gonna end this message before it gets too long. Thank you again! I'll get back to work!
