I didn’t want to do this, but Tumblr isn’t responding to my attempts to contact them, so my blog remains shadowbanned. As an artist who relies on traffic to sell my art, I can’t justify staying. So I’m leaving Tumblr.
To those who stuck around: thank you. It’s unfortunate that it came to this.
See you in the threshold!
Finished commission for MissSmittenKitten for thelxlbloodlxlprince of their OC Razgul. I had a lot of fun with this one, especially with getting to play with the shadows and smoke!

With Tumblr going down, I actually forgot I'd signed up for the Monster Exchange. The page unfortunately no longer exists, so the mods ended up either emailing folks or poking them on whatever social media or art galleries they'd provided upon signing up.
I got Glitchbog and their really neat lady Hax who runs a smuggling ring aboard a rogue space mining outpost! Hopefully the guns aren't too OOC but I didn't know what else to do with their arms/hands haha!

A design commission for @silenceartwork. He asked for a design based on a cryptid. I went with the Ozark Howler cause it sounded really fun! Super pleased with how this turned out.

I honestly can't believe that this year seemed as long as it did. The art in the first third of the year feels like it was done a lot longer ago! This year was stock full of challenges and triumphs, and I'd like to take this moment to reflect on them.
The beginning of the year marked a shift in mindset. I embraced my desire to draw more of my own characters, and though this summary doesn't show it, I managed to do so almost every month. I let myself create incredibly self indulgent art that was made for no one but myself. I tried my hand at narrative illustrations and found out I really enjoy them. On the flip-side, I decided to stop doing The Creature Exchange, and started creating designs that I could sell. I also began doing much more serious studies to strengthen my fundamentals in the last quarter of the year and I think it really shows. This was also my first year joining Art Fight! It was so incredibly wonderful to participate in such a fantastic event. I had so much fun and I will definitely be joining again next year. Mid-July I changed my brand and went from Battleferrets to Shadderstag, and I'm feeling really good about it!
Unrelated to art, I got to visit Spottyjaguar and MoltenGoldArt, I started testosterone, I legally changed my name to Scott Jay Francis, I'm on the wait list for top surgery sometime early this year, the employment placement program I did earlier in the year helped my confidence exponentially, and I moved out of a very shitty situation into an incredibly convenient apartment downtown with a wonderful roommate who I met in the employment placement program.
All that said, this year held a lot of struggles too. I moved twice, entered an employment placement program only to be told I have too many barriers to employment and that I should apply for permanent disability, struggled with my mental illnesses, and made some changes to my medications. It's been a very long, very busy year.
Me and my polyfam have been calling 2018 the "year of foundation building"; I put in a lot of groundwork in 2018 that I plan to fully take advantage of in 2019. I have a lot of goals I want to work towards this year!
2019 New Years Art Resolutions
- Tell more stories! Do more narrative illustrations, and introduce more of my characters and their lives. I have a multitude of universes and characters inhabiting them, and I want to share them.
- Do more studies! The short amount of time I did studies this year showed such a marked improvement in my work that I can't deny that it gets results. I especially want to focus on perspective and lighting, to better be able to make dynamic illustrations.
- Be more engaging! I know I have people interested in what I create, and I'd just really love to connect more with them. I have vague ideas of interactive Q&As, sharing more of my writing (I write so much original content and barely share any of it anywhere), and asking for more participation from my patrons.
- What's my branding? In the middle of the year I changed my branding and became Shadderstag. I want to explore that identity more, looking at how I want to visually represent myself, as well as figure out what sort of business face I'd like to present. This would be entirely separate from what content I create, as I don't think I could limit myself to a niche and stay there. There's too much I want to do!
So a whole lot of everything happened in 2018, and I just know 2019 is going to be just as full, but here's hoping the positive far outweighs any negatives that may come my way, and that I can overcome them when they do!
To all of you who have been supporting me: Thank you! I appreciate each and every one of you, and I hope to continue to build a community with you all <3

Today's my 30th birthday and I'm so grateful for all the amazing people I know. Thanks for making my life absolutely phenomenal ❤️
If you want to give me a gift, I would love some weapon slots on Warframe (add me! IGN is Shadderstag!) or you can buy me a Ko-fi!
A being cursed to a life of mortality during the day, and an immortal form during the night, dancing as they slowly burn themselves up until they are nothing more than a pile of ash come morning, when their mortal form crawls forth out of the ashes to start the cycle anew.
This is the first design my Patrons had a part in creating! I asked for prompts, and they delivered. I want to thank them for their input and inspiration!
Asking $75 USD for them. I am also offering a discounted upgrade ladder option. For another $50 USD I will design a custom human or anthro form for them, following your prompt!
That’s $125 USD for both the original design, and the upgraded additional design!

Oh, okay, that’s a thing. No more NSFW allowed on Tumblr.
I’m not sure whether my blog will become searchable even if I do “purify” it by removing all NSFW and trying to make it non-explicit.
If you want to continue following me and receive all my content, you can find it on Patreon, Twitter, Furaffinity and Picarto. You can also find my non-NSFW content on DeviantArt, Artstation, Ko-Fi and Facebook.
I will keep posting to this site, but it’s a kick in the teeth to lose a NSFW platform, especially when I was just starting to get back into NSFW content. Hope to see you all elsewhere!

Finished half of my trade with @cornyeelart! Featuring her fantastic Mafia boss Fabian punching my OC Derrek in the face. Derrek was probably sent to represent his boss, and told to dress up and be nice. Dressing up for Derrek is indeed a tracksuit, and, well, laying on the innuendos really heavily during what is essentially a business meeting is a fast track to pain. He definitely had it coming though.
