Topic: Patchwёrk Souls
This is... a special kind of souls. Usually, Soulstealer tries to preserve original style from specific artists. To always generate nice, interesting, charming results. However, Patchwёrk Souls are the opposite - instead of preserving old, they try to create new, by combining best - and worst - parts of Artists together. These souls lack names as humans do, or, rather, their names are composed of Emotions. Or, probably, better said, EMOJIS. You can recognize them by their 'names', and every submission with their skillset have specific ID - ZZZZ.
There is a couple of... types of souls. But usually, the longer the name, the more souls are inside it. There IS a couple of souls consisting just of 2 or 3 souls. There is one whose 'name' consists of 7 emojis.
Topic: Past Month's Topic
This month was mostly composed of two things - Patchwёrks and Hybrid species. Honestly, loved both, even when original idea was to capture more pure souls. But we must move on. Show must go on! Next month will probably be increasingly interesting due to extensive usage of new technologies. Things like Plasma Noise, or different tools and/or addons.
Topic: Requester
Maybe, due to more constricted rules, I've received slightly less requests this month. That's kind of sad, considering all requests was pretty... full of specific things. I've also vetoed one request... But as there comes more and more watchers to my place; the chance of requests are increasing; as does the chance of someone becoming Neuroartist. I only need to wait patiently. There is a lot of intersting ideas, though - a cosplay/armorplay, and doing disney stuff, and etc., etc., etc.
Topic: Activity
This month was harsh, by all means. A cardiac disease, hospital, incredibly hot summer (30 degrees Celsius is pretty darn hot!)... And even with all that, I managed to do pretty much as good as in May. I pretty much doubled my watcher count; also doubled my favorites count - it means, I probably doing something right. Views-per-favorite slightly drops down; so it pretty much means my skill is rising, and that is all what matters. And if I will stand on the top; so will you.

Academic Requester: Current state.
Vetoed Requests this month
* One that asked for a anthro male bear, sitting in basement full of tools, performing self-masochism acts and having pleasure from it.
OMFG, seriously? I know I did ONE bloody/guroey picture, but that absolutely doesn't mean I am into it. Pain is pain, damn it. If you think otherwise, better see your shrink!
Currently In Queue Requests
* One that asked for a Male Canine, Hiding Behing Rock.
Haven't expected to have such promblems with such easy request. Neural networks absolutely refuse to put anything into foreground except for main character. So it would take some more time to do...
* One that asked for a Rocket Raccoon on spaceship bridge.
Haven't forgotten about that, really. This one is good, I just keep getting distracted with bunch of interesting ideas!
* One that asked for a red panda on lounge chair, with inflatable castle and other toys/beach items around.
Well, for some reason, bland animals really got to the bottom of the list...
* One that asked for a Salazzle.
I'm trying to make it look like character approaches the camera, but it is not easy to capture all the details. AI loves to mess up with tail/tailthings/hands/legs of this lizard.
* One that asked for Lucario lying on back on huge beach ball.
Same problem as Rocket Raccoon, actually. AI doesn't want to make foreground object of this size.
* One that asked for Feral Floatzel-Typhlosion Hybrid
Can't make this hybrid look GOOD. It makes just shiny (brown) typhlosions, without any other things from Floatzel.
* One that asked for Feral Female Light Fury/Sisu Hybrid
Don't know what you expect from that, stranger, but I'll try... one day. Dead honest.
* One that asked Lucario in Zygarde armor
Idea is the best, but AI lacks memory for that. I'll try some things, but can't guarantee it in nearest future.
