The original domain, cmct.com became my own website on
August 31st 1999. For about the first day of its existance,
it was intended to be Pokemon themed,but the episode guide to it was
not handy, so it was switched over to Digimon instead. The
result is above. (taken from a Digimon-The Movie promotion by
Pojo)
However, about a year after that, the website got too big for its very limited
website capacity at the time (50MB?) and
had to be changed. It then became a site about super cars
(like, ones that you can't afford; McLaren F1, Mercedes CLK-GTR,
etc.) After that came and gone, it became a website about Video
Games, but that proved to be way too much work, so it was
limited to Metroid (called Metroid HQ), with MS Paint
visuals (I was not using PSP7 at the time). Then, it went to
Sonic the Hedgehog, the gateway to anthropomorphism for me.
Finally, I became fed up with lack of server space and ripping
off Sonic HQ, so I changed it to be based on nothing but my own artwork (which also helps
prevent lawsuits), Tailsrulz Productions. Since
"Tailsrulz" doesnt roll off the tongue, I changed it to
"Vulpine Studios" shortly afterward.
In August 2009, the domain finally switched from the oddly-titled cmct.com to
vulpine-studios.com. I am now the sole owner of the domain and am solely responsible
for its upkeep.
2002: I begin working with PSP7. I also used PSP4 and Photoshop before that, but PSP7 is what I stuck with.

I believe my first responsibility is to all the people who
purchase, use and/or admire my products (which includes
artwork): customers, fans and beyond. To meet the needs of my
customers, every product I provide must be of high quality.
Customer’s orders must be serviced promptly, thoroughly and
accurately. I have an obligation to assist customers and fans
who make inquiries about my products as well as procedures used
in making these products. Any outreach towards customers and/or
fans should be informative, accurate and helpful. I should
experiment with new ideas. To meet the needs of fans and
customers alike, new products should be provided at reasonable
intervals. Business must make a sound profit, but I must strive
to maintain reasonable prices.
