August update is here.
Smaller update this time, due to some unforeseen event.
Early this month, an update occurred on the hosting server that we've been using for various years. This left me with a few issues, such as losing write access to our files, a database migration from a few months old backup and the application breaking from the various version upgrades.
While some of the issue were restored rapidly, some required rush patching to get things running again. But some stuff were still broken as of today.
And with new update planned soon, which would have incur even more breaking changes (Jakarta migration for instance), I spent the few last weeks doing a complete upgrade of the aging software dependencies. That included migrating everything to Java 17, Tomcat 10, PostgreSQL 15, jForum 2.9.0 and removing dead weight.
And after all this, I still didn't had write access back, making me unable to push part of the update or review the configuration. So I fired back an old project on AWS. The video were already on AWS as of 3 years ago, but now, it was time to finalize the computing part. After much files moving, upgrade and testing, I got the instance running.
As of this update, Shadowlord inc is now running on its own server: Smaug. And yes, all my computers are all dragon names based, like Bahamut and Tiamat ( my local file servers), Volteer and Ignitus (my local Dev servers), Gorbash (my laptop), and so on.
I would like to thanks Kyreeth, for hosting us for all those years. We wouldn't have reach this far without you. Furvect has been a pillar that helped this community from the start.
Next step site wise? I still need to do a layout change, but help has been difficult to obtains, mostly due to communication issue (for instance, timezone).

March update.
Some dragons. And a realization Indian cartoon studio can't draw shit...
Too bad one of said show had potential but look atrocious.
No Furnal Equinox this year again for me. I guess I'll classify this convention as an Anthrocon 2005 2.0 from now on.
At this point, I don't think I'm going to spend a grand on hotel, another grand on transportation to attend a convention then have no money to spend on transformation sketchbooks...
See you all in April.

2025 New Year update.
Last part of the classical cartoons update. Big batch of MGM cartoons, including the Tom and Jerry various series.
With the new year beginning, I would like to wish everyone an Happy New Year. I hope your holiday was something good.
I would like to thank those who did a little something for me for Christmas, as a support for me and the site.
Therefor, thanks to:
Now, for a recap of 2024.
2024 was a BAD year for me. Lots of work, lots of family issues with having to deal with a Narcissistic Pervert (which is mentally draining) have left me with a near burnout.
Thinks are improving, but your support for 2025 would help alleviate all the burned I'm going through. Whatever it is just a commissioned picture or transformation of Dragoniade, a commissioned transformation story featuring Dragoniade (or me), help for the layout of the site (on a workable timezone), anything to put a smile on my face when I get back and resume site work on the evening after a long day.
So, I would like to thanks those who supported me in 2024:
