hello
Because seems Tumblr has been going crazy with the websites recent rules and guidelines that will be going into effect on Dec 17 and it will hurt talented creators who post their art on here, because the site may deem their certain content too “NSFW” or “Explicit” for its own “community image” and there is no telling whom will be the victims of such a judgemental algorithm, chances are: it could be me or it could be you. So if this happens, if and when the worst case scenario happens, you can look for me on these sites I use more often then Tumblr: DeviantART: https://www.deviantart.com/fidoartz FA: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/fidok9/ Youtube(for my videos, vlogs, and animations): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoXbytHw01qLUctP4kxBzkA Twitter (which i hardly us to tweet): https://twitter.com/FidoArtz my G+ (which I may us often again, even if it may shut down) I also have a Discord or a Telegram, but I only give to my friends i have over the years and other people I trust. So if you know me and I know you, you can ask me for both or one of them so we can stay In touch. back up your posts, artwork, animations, anything you have on tumblr. Best of luck all of you and take care. Now, if I were to give my opinion on this change coming up on Tumblr, I just think its silly and unconstitutional to the freedom of the internet and may do more harm then good on this site and its communities. I hope Tumblr @staff will think about this and change their mind, otherwise, there will be repercussions that will happen to this site in the long run, if it takes effect.

greetings everyone, i am back on here after a long Tumblr Hiatus...
Do you guys miss the activity and content of my Tumblr? Well me too, I do miss posting my art, update journals, animations, videos, and maybe reblogging interesting findings here. Why I stopped posting on Tumblr for a long time, is because of three things:
1.not much to do on my Tumblr, same could be said for my twitter and G+ 2. I don’t really have much of an active audience as the silent or inactive majority pretty much make up much of my audience here on my Tumblr. Now I do not really want to make a big deal about that because I have said numbers are not a big deal with me and that should be the focus I should have on this Tumblr. 3. I had too much stuff on my plate, not only IRL stuff of course, but I do struggle to find a balance of between keeping track of both my social media stuff like Tumblr, Twitter+ Facebook(which I will no longer use), and even G+ and my focus on my primary internet stuff such as Deviantart, Furaffinty, and even Youtube. So I kinda became inactive on this site for this and the other 2 reasons here, and as I said before on the first one, the same could be said for my twitter and G+. If you guys are still watching my Tumblr and keeping up, despite that I haven't posted content or reblogged for a while, I appreciate you and everyone else support, and that pretty much means a lot to me. I will try to find time around this Tumblr, just not as too often Until next time, this is Fido Artz, have a blessed good day and stay artzy.

Summer 2017 update
Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and summer is here. and that means its time for a monthly hot update. So my new online class has begun today, its called Computer literacy. that class teach me computer program operations both of familiar and new territory, specifically, it practice file management, email, instant messaging, Internet browsing and searching. This course includes a brief introduction to industry standard word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation application programs. Computer terminology and identification of fundamental hardware and software applications is introduced. So in term, its kind of like that one summer class from last year that teach me how to be a successful online student. Well, slightly advanced. but, i will do my best in that class. its going to be 8 weeks long, as like much every online class in the summer, i pretty much has limit options of what classes to take, due too construction still going on at the college campus groups, which would be done a year or two. So wish me luck on this class, guys. Also, My nephew from Kansas city has flew in 2 days ago and He will be staying for half of the summer visiting me, mom, his dad, and his friends still in town. However, my hometown of Ridgecrest is starting to be a little dangerous. So mom and i, are worried about bad things happening to him out there, if he decides to walk around town. He maybe almost near the same age as me and capable of staying out of trouble, but we just don't know. we will still all have a safe good time visiting together, until around mid or late July, my nephew go back to the airport and flies back to Kansas. Art wise, been a super slow going focus as of now. especially, with how much i am going to be doing in the summer and how fatiguing the heat is going to be, but regardless. i will find time to draw here and there out of my college classes and visits. and i will catch up on chats and rp with you guys. we will just have to wait and see what this summer holds for all of us here. And thats the first month of summer update, i look forward to your thoughts and feedback on these discussed and other topics, until next month of summer update. always, This is Fido Artz, have a blessed good summer and stay artzy. ^^

my traditional art online class look back and FSC
Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and last week i looked at my final grade of my traditional art online class of the 2017 spring semester. and its an
A
so i succeed yet again on another online class.Through this semester, it has been a journey of ups and downs in traditional art. So i look back and rate my experience of the class and the projects from 1 to 10:
Blind contour 7\10 what to be said about this assignment, it was familiar territory but put into a different handling and prospective. the idea of looking at your hand while drawing it on paper through observation can vary between easy or hard. going through attempts and tryout different gesture to sketch while looking at them.
Wire voodoo doll 4\10 This one was a little messy and little painful, still i am glad i make a wire figure for this assignment. i have to agree through the head could of use a little work. might need better safety gloves if i had to do this again. that wire was pretty oily. Don't try this, unless you have the right protective gloves.
Color wheel 8\10 First painting assignment in class. and i think my attempt at making a color wheel was fairy decent. It still a cool example of what colors you would get with 2 or 3 colors together.
Upside down drawing 9\10 it was a sketching assignment to test how well i sketch a drawing from a different angle, this one took a couple of attempts to get right.
Tints and shades 7\10 Another unique assignment, Mix certain base colors with white each time to make it brighter. Mix certain base colors with black each time to make it darker. sounds easy to do, but can be difficult to do and know how much white or black to add to get blighter tints or darker shades. i have to admit i did not notice some of the paint looking wet. i still think this was a okay assignment in painting.
Exploring the photo archive 4\10 This assignment was tough. mostly because some of the images in the gallery didn't really have much appeal to me or was too morbid looking. But i manage to find my best photos from the photo stream. explaining them can range from big or small reasons to like a picture.
Inflatable plastic 8\10 Fun big project here. using a huge plastic cloth to make a inflatable sculpture. this is a neat project that ran with a few minor setbacks. mainly the tacky packing tape. besides that. i think this inflated weapon turned out perfect. thanks to me, my mom, scissors, the shapes, and a hairdryer to inflate some life into this plastic piece.
Films about artists review 10\10 despite the vacation out of town and out of state putting a constraint between me and this written assignment. i still think i managed to pull it off. knowing the story of the artist and his challenge in art. Classroom students communication i think it would be a 4/10 because it could of been handled a bit better with the show your work being on the homepage a week rather then being a unlisted module because these were not easy to find. it was like a small class or not alot of students were interactive. communication is key rather its feedback from other students or helping out others if it was a group project. Journals and quiz 8\10 they are basic and easy to understand and do. I think i have always gave my analyse and honest thoughts on responses to topics pertaining to this class and its topics. So its pretty common and standard to do these journals for this class, as well the quiz's. As for my instructor Brad, 9/10 He seem to be a good understanding instructor, with a fair handling on this art class. he make each assignment easy to understand. interesting work ethics and you he good decent critiques i could take to heart, and most of all, he is pretty much a down to earth person i have met. nice to see another person who knows strong bad and homestar runner. I think this class was fun overall. It was a fun experience to have, work on these projects and learning the history of art and how far this culture has made it in this world. i think a traditional art class, online was a unique online class to have in this day and age and it really works, thank you for having me, Brad. it was nice to be in your class. i wrote this as a survey to which he replied: Thanks for the kind words and thanks for being in my class this Semester. Good luck with your future plans. -Brad
This right there ended my spring semester on a good note. and i am proud of it. so is my mom, my dad, and everyone in the family. it was fun to try out different medium of art in this class. so it was fun, hard work, and easy to learn. And i am glad that most of you enjoyed my art work i did for college. its great to have you guys involve with the art i do outside of my regular art i have done and i thank you all for being my support in general. it goes to show that you can succeed if you put all your focus on whats important to you in life rather its school and college. you will succeed with your full efforts and huge focus on your projects or assignment. you will find success on your important goals.
Now that my spring semester is done. i have now signed up for my future summer semester class and its Computer Literacy, and its going to be another online class, its going to be a 8 week online class. And summer classes online will always be about clam'in for college. its starts on june 5th. So we will see, afterall, i have successfully pass 3 online classes, so I honestly hope I do well in this class and succeed as well. So wish me luck.
Despite all this happening. i have shortly gotten back to my art again. did a birthday piece for one of my friends outside of DA, and its just enough to motivate me to get back in. my next art piece i have to work on is
AlterEgoAndie
request. then i will see if i can get more art pieces and collages done around this week.
And that is pretty much that in this entry. i look forward to your feedback on this and other topics. again, communication is key ;3
Until next update, this is Fido Artz have a blessed good day and stay artzy.

oklahoma,kansas,and tulsa trip aftermath
Attention readers: this big journal entry was written three weeks ago i came home from my 2 week vacation. enjoy Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and I am finally back home from my two week and ½ vacation in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Tulsa. And it certainly was a adventure that had its ups and downs compared to my other one from 2015 I figure I should start with how it begin. It was going to be a once year thing where me and my mother, around the spring of April visiting my family and relatives who lived or moved over there for 2 weeks which was April 21st for this year. The plan I thought was changed was that our friend will be driving us to the Vegas airport on the 20th. Turns out, the original game plan still stands. We packed up our things and our ride picked us up and we drove to Vegas, Nevada. At certain times my stomach was a bit achy from the trips but I took some medicine such as motion sickness pills. From there we stayed a night at my friends parents house, which had no wi-fi but good hospitality and visiting went good. Next day, me and mom got dropped off at the airport and we just look around, played with a few slots, and then depart to the 7am plane. Personally even though I am person who takes a step out of my comfort zone. But I was not a fan of traveling too far out of town or flying across states with some turbulence. But we managed to get though it okay and landed at Tulsa airport in Oklahoma where my uncle at the arrival picked us up and drive us around town. It was a ok town, but rural life doesn't really have much of a appeal to me but also one thing I dislike about the certain parts of town is its religious beliefs it has rather then it having a spiritual belief, and not to mention tornado warnings if you don't keep watch. Besides those, my uncle dropped us off to my grandmother's house. Where we begin our 1st week visit. Our visits sometimes had been easy going yet little drama occur here and there at times. But me and mom easily get these conversations back on a rational level adverting conflicts. we had fun at the Choctaw Indian casino and I walked away with $48 then added on $30 to my winnings which would be $72 I think. Then we also went to a bigger Choctaw Indian casino and hotel in Arkansas. Where we celebrated my uncles birthday on April 25th. We had a good time but I feel bad for my uncle who has been having bad luck, one of them is finding his horse trigger, dead on the pouch of his house, which he had to gave a burial. He expect that trigger picked a fight with his other horse's which resulted in that incident.So we figured me and mom should spend tonight as my uncles house and at least cheer him up and make his life a little better. We took a walk through my uncles property which is a little pond, the woods, and the boat. Then we met his animals such as the 2 other horses one horse is named Scout and a small pony named Joey. We try to pet them but something spooked them and me and my mother almost got steamrolled by them, luckily we got pushed out of the way before it can fully happen. And I also had to help my uncle figure out the VR goggles for his phone. It works but unfortunately his phone system is not compatible with the google cardboard system which tracks and navigates where you look at in a 360 3d video. And neither is mine sadly. Next day, my mom wanted to visit my mom's dad & my grandfather and other uncle's grave and leave flowers by their headstones. And that brought back some sad memories to her, especially that time where he passed away on 2005 and she went to his funeral. But I know and feel, that they are both in peace. After that, we went back to grandmas for a last visit. We try to help her find a place to stay or buy a temporary mobile home she can make a temporary home until her house upcoming renovation. She was a bit against the idea of staying with friends, family or in a trailer or hotel because she is worried about her cats and dogs safety or having a rocky relationship with certain members. We also spotted a mobile home on sale which we all thought it work. But after closer inspection by my grandmother and uncle, she declined on it. So we tried. Next day came, our visit with my grandmother and uncle done, said good bye,and my sister and her new love picked us up. We left Oklahoma and head out to Coffeyville, Kansas where my sister and the kids has moved to a new 2 story house in town similar to the other one from my 2015 trip. Its a nice house outside but inside a another story. After we made it to Coffeyville, I get to know my big sister, her new friend who is a cop, and my 5 nieces and 2 nephews. We ate a Chinese buffet restaurant which is a few blocks from the house. Then we started our 2nd week of the vacation.And we find out that they are moving out to a new house yet again. Which is a pretty nice looking house. Visiting has been going good but me and mom start to get sick to our heads, but its very temporary. This also happen with me in Oklahoma My nephew points out that there are huge allergies here in this state. I don't know how allergies can cause symptoms but I am glad they are temporary. We still manged to have fun and visiting and also ate another buffet which is a steak one rather then a Chinese one. Went shopping, attempted the claw machine, and just hang out with my nephew in his room up stairs and I also got my own personalized bible from my sister. Despite the ups and downs of this week I feel there are overall things I did not like, one of them is trying to keep up with my online class. its been tedious to fit that in along with my visits with family, one example would be my 3rd vocab journal. i thought i submitted that assignment complete with my commentary and use of the words in sentence before packing up to head to vegas and catch a plane to kansas and oklahoma. only to find out around one of my visits in Oklahoma, i didn't submit so i had to find the vocab words and definition of every word again but left out the commentary because i was running out of time. so it was a last minute thing i will take responsibility for. Which earns me partial credit. The movie review based on a artists biopic assignment also faced a similar circumstance with time. because i doubt i would get to watch the entire movie while being on vacation. but i seen most of the movie and get the idea of the artists, characters, elements, without giving away too many spoilers. And most of you know i used to do movie reviews online on DA before but those reviews pretty much tells a movie from start to finish and goes into too much detail. so i try to avoid that with this review assignment and pick out the highlights and interesting main plot points and focuses. But in the end of that concern. I have been doing pretty good on my traditional art class with a 92.28% so far I am going to focus on the 3 last remaining assignments with no hitches in between. The vacation was over, we packed up and my sister drove us to Tulsa and dropped us off at the Tulsa airport. knowing that we had a good visit, we got passed security checks and sit down to wait for our plane Allegiant Air to Vegas. Until.. the flight got delayed and then suddenly got canceled til tomorrow due maintenance and everyone was not happy. Instead of having my sister picking us up and going back to Kansas. We are given vouchers and then we took a shuttle bus to a hotel which is not far from the airport and just settle down and eat at a near by Denny's. And apparently this is not the first time this Allegiant Air flight delay and cancellation happen, infact it has happen 2 or 3 times this week. I enjoyed the hotel, but I really wanted to go home as planned, I just had a good time but I just feel like overstayed my welcome, Kind of similar to the Markiplier vs delta airline story. Next day, me and mom both checked out and get on the shuttle bus hoping that we finally get on a plane and fly to Vegas so we can get home. We got past every mandatory thing and had lunch. Then wait and here we go again with Allegiant Air the delays keeps stacking up. Even though I am a nice guy. I got to confess I was getting little peeved inside with this situation. And the other customers are getting more angry, heated, and tired if they had to be canceled and sent back to their homes and hotels again. But instead of canceling the flight. They decide to send in what they call a rescue plane to get us to vegas. We waited for its arrival, they give us sodas and pizzas. However the wi-fi handling there was extremely terrible and spotty for laptops and phones alike. Moments later. The plane shows up and then we board the flight. And that patients of waiting have payed off. And before you know it we are flying to Vegas. I think the staff handled the situation perfectly this time. But I think Allegiant Air is going to have to pay for me, mom, and everyone's for may 1st incident. Personally I think Oklahoma, Kansas, and Tulsa are good places to visit to family but not a place I rather moved too if I had to deal with common occurrences such as tornadoes and storms. We finally made it to Vegas, and our ride picked us up, we stayed a night at his parents house from 2 weeks ago. Then say good bye and then set course for Ridgecrest,CA. My hometown. We also stopped at baker to check out a cool attraction I remember seeing when I was kid. It was called alien fresh jerky and it was awesome and got bigger last time I seen it with my dad. After the drive we finally made it home. And that was my 2 week vacation in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Tulsa. And boy this took a lot to remember, write down, and cram in a single journal. Compared to the 2015 vacation, this one was more layed back and mellow. Had its ups and downs. But it was still a good vacation. I also liked that most of stayed in touched with me during my trip and it really means a lot to me to have you guys involved with what I am doing outside of my art, animation, literature, and such endeavors by being more interactive with you guys though messengers, skype, discord, telegram, notes, and statuses. You guys such as AlterEgoAndie, Thunder-Clap-Clide, 8TeamFriends8, and Jasonbrambletail have been getting me through tough spots in my life and my trip. Thank you all so much for being good friends. And thank you all for reading all this, I look forward to your thoughts on my trip and other topics. And now I am going to go rest up for the day knowing that we made it home. Until next time as always, this is Fido Artz have a blessed good day and stay artzy ^^

april pre-vaction update
Greetings everyone, this is Fido Artz and this a quick update, I have been doing okay after that wisdom teeth removal 2 weeks ago. Specifically i had 4 removed from top left and right to bottom left and right, gotten an awful alot of numbing shots that ranged from painless to painful. Until i was able to not feel anything, including the pressure put on my said 4 teeth being removed and ended up walking away with my entire bottom lip feel completely lock jawed like a latex costume piece, and had gauze in my mouth to stop bleeding until they are ready to be removed. Around The post operation week i was given instruction such as, applying a cold pack to reduce the swelling while resting for 2 days, hold warm saltwater in mouth and let it run out of my mouth, take proscribed pain killers, and i wasn't able to eat anything i like to eat other then Liquids go-gurts, pudding, and noodles. I regain my eating appetite 2 weeks past. but, mostly have to chew with my front teeth now sense i no longer had my wisdom's in the back. However things have been going okay and painless this week. Why i decide to write a update in the middle is obvious, the days are counting down. with a minor note. the original plan was that me and mom will be heading out to Vegas on the 21st, but due to change of plans she decided that we will be going tomorrow so will are packing our things. Our friend will be picking us up on that day to drive us to the airport in Vegas, So we can catch a plane so me and mom can see family over at Kansas and Oklahoma. as said before we will be staying for 2 weeks there and we will be returning home around the start of next month. But i fortunately i will be taking my laptop this time so i can stay in touch with you guys and my college. So wish me luck and safe trip tomorrow when i write in the status of when i leave. As for college, i have been doing great in my traditional art online class, i have 9 assignments left this semester. then i will be class searching for a class on campus for summer semester. At the moment i don't know what to take next. so i am still on the fence on what class to take. until then i don't know. However i am glad some of you enjoyed my college art piece of both digital and traditional format, Its great to have you involved Artwise, i will most likely be doing my art around my vacation and when i get home from my vacation. But visiting and caring for family, and my college comes first, so as always, its going to be super slow going and reduced, same to be said for RPs too. Also besides that, if you guys have not seen it yet, i have my first speed art video up last week. it took time and days to work on and It may not be perfect but keep in mind that this my first speed art video and good and fair constructive criticism is welcomed.
youtube
Well that was my quick mid month update, thank you all for reading, when i find time out of my college and trip prepping, i look forward to your feedback on this and other topics discussed, until next update, I am Fido Artz have a blessed good day any stay artzy ^^

Here is my 2017 ref sheet for Skunk boy i did last week way before i had my my four wisdom teeth removed on Saturday. it took like 3 days to work on. i'm also going to upload a speed art that took 2 days to record and draw and 3 days to edit. the speed draw is mostly focused drawing, painting, and detailing on skunk boy in the center rather then the entire reference sheet because that was done off camera. Anyways this was all done in Firealpaca again. bio will be made soon. Bonus speed art video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=POzcOR…

This is my art trade with Thunder-Clap-Clide of his character Sophi and Markus. Art trades is kind of like requests but you create a requested artpiece for that artist and he or she will do art for you in return. this is my very first art.
He told me that my other friend Angelic-Lewd Has did a drawing of his said characters design and wanted me to interpretate Sophi’s outfit color and also convey my style in that design for Markus . i went with a dark grey outfit and some orange. i think this turn out beautifully and i am really getting the hang of the shading in Firealpaca.

A-pear fools day update
Greetings everyone this Fido Artz and happy a-pear fools day or 1st of April. where its all fun in games until some one takes a joke too far. Not the whole pear thing ofcourse i do not plan to do a peal drawing. i mean certain jokes like say journals that jokingly announces a situation about leaving, quitting DA, or something worst like suicide. those are very trival thing to joke about on this particle day. As i said about this last year it contradict and ruins the harmless fun of this holiday. So be very careful and creative with your April fools jokes. me, I don't plan to do any. Now for some legitimate updates. easter is coming up and so is the candy giant Reese bunny ^^p Okay, back on subject, Fido. Around this month i will be doing a speed art video on Youtube with one of my upcoming art pieces where you see my entire creative process in firealpaca. So be on the look out for that soon. Also, on April 22, I and my mom will be once again heading to Vegas to catch a plane and fly out Kansas to see my sister and the rest of my family over there. we will be there for 2 weeks. Hopefully i can bring my laptop this time to catch up on my college work and with you guys. We will have to see. As always i am open to your feedback on this and other topics. also on my status bars on DA for encourage a sharing, chat, and such interactivity with everyone when i am not doing update journals like i do on a monthly basis. Thank you guys for reading this journal until next update, I am Fido Artz have blessed and safe good day and stay artzy ^^

This is a OC art requested by NicholasJudy4567 on DA of her OC Mimi There is no story behind it, Other then she requested this out of the blue and she also friends with toongirl18. So i figure i should regain the motivation to create artwork again after been busy with college. Also this is all done in Firealapca. because 1.I figure i draw and start shading my artpiece in the program and 2.i no longer have access to my photoshop program and i don't know how i can transfer my license over to the new laptop yet. Anyways, this conveyance of this OC turned out pretty good and the shading and tints is decent in my view.
