*sighs* All the time, honey. :c
Especially, when you are drawing yourself with some one you can never be with.

Thats pretty sad huh. I suppose art can be used as escapism but sometimes it can sting a little *quiet hugs*

*kisses your cheek* Yes, it can sting, but sometimes it is all you have. Like with my bear. I love her so much, but art is all we can have... and it is better than nothing. c: *nods nods*

I have been wanting to draw Mirera pregnant for a while too, since I want a child so bad, and it is fun to imagine. <3

Still have not found a cub that wants to be my baby either. :c

Sometimes I wish I could be an awesome cabbit sorcerer and run around blasting criminals into jail. So yeah... I understand.

That sounds awesome. mebbe one day there will be a gadget to make imagintion things actually happen :) life would be a lot crazier

Consider that they already do. Twenty years ago, if you slipped a plastic candy bar into your pocket and clipped on an oversize earring and started talking, you would've been talking to an imaginary friend. Today if you did that, you would be talking to a real friend as if you were talking to an imaginary one.

*cuddles*

I can't really think of anything wise or useful to say, it just looked like you needed a cuddle... ^.^

yoo really are super clever zeezee hugs are exactly what i need *hugs yoo super squiggly*

This happens to me when I see pictures of intimate caretaker-cub pictures. It melts my heart and puts me into a cubby mood more often than not.

Yeah, quite often... but I half life blissfully optomistic in my head and half melancholy and depressed in the real world (or vise-versa, it tends to randomly flip at times) so I'm not the best example I guess <__<;

;curls; it happens only way to much v.v Many times I feel lonesome, like a puppy that was separated from a pack and left to fend for himself. I get that way with large plushies to because I know its the closest Ill get to snuggles most times.

I get like that sometimes when I hear of people going to conventions that i wanna go to i feel kinda like the one left behind. :) *hugs*

Happens nearly every day >_<

ya mainly with pics of me huggy...wow im leaving that typo lol meant hugging a family member or close friend i draw it to feel like im hugging them but then i look at it other times and it just makes me wish to hug them more

My problem is, I feel little like that mostly all the time, but can't do a thing about it.

Occasionally. I guess it varies on the picture really.

This is definitely true for me -- the same exact art can make me wish that I was that cub, or make me wish I could be another cub playing with that one, and on different days those wishes can make me happy from imagining that situation, or sad because it's not real.

*hugs you, and happily imagines baby Jennie hugging baby Gem* This must be a good day :)

*giggles and huggles yoo back*

That seems to happen all the time with me when I draw.

Wishing you could be your own character irl? yes. and I think most furries have that :(
or being in a piece of art, yeah. most of the art I've had done has made me feel better (especially the ref you did for me, the sippy cup chibi, I just look at it and i feel really small all of a sudden so thanks :D)

if i had a working graphics tablet I'd be drawing art but it was only a cheapo thing i got in an airport at singapore like 5-6 years ago xD what i have done so far is using an app on my ipad but its not the same as a graphics tablet for pc :( mostly cause of the lack of paint tools sai

having said that im too much of a perfectionist that i wouldnt ever complete anything i started

but yuh. found... it's really getting good now ^.^ always getting excited about new pages, though that's not changed since i started reading xD

it'd be cool to see some of your art. I had a feeling you were a good artist when you redmarked the first commission I did for you. You have a good eye for attention to detail id be interested to see any art from you

Sometimes it happens to me.On my pics,the pics the people make for me,and on my sketch and ideas.i try to imagine the scene,looking through Gussy's eyes,and wish to live that

Yeash totally have that too. I feel my fursona very close to me so things happening to here kinda feels real for me <3

Well sometime most of the time is gem in the comic all the time old and young. It seem most of the characters seem to be just forgettable as most the of the story is about you and not about the others. as you know it mostly there is no side story when I read it sometime you nee dto talk a break from your character and let other have there turn just a suggestion. Anyway keep it up gem your comic is awesome

LOL well the comic is about Gem's life so of course its gonna be centred around my character. That's not what I was talking about really.

Haha Sorry it just that you where talking about the comic, I always jump to a conclusion about what I read ^^;

I don't even DRAW, and I get lost like that... usually in a fine piece of artwork or a good book.

I've seen art that to one person looks normal, but for me, just brings me to tears. A part of it comes from the passion of an artist, the other is from just life. I mean it hurts, but in a good way. Like just seeing it can invoke sad/good memories, and inspire to do more; to be better.

While I don't really draw enough, nor comish enough art to really comment on such a feeling.. I do get.. wistfulness over FA at time, due to it's escapist nature, I tend to get overly obsessive with certain sites, and refresh them for sweet new nuggets of updatey goodness. Mostly on video site actually, wanting some sort of new entertainment.

And I can understand the over active imagination. When I listen to music I just go inside my head, often I'm singing, with friends, I wonderful, fuzzy music video in my head, it makes me feel close to others, and it can also make me feel pumped, or help get me to sleep, so it's escapism I can at least use.

I used to feel like that all the time, yep! But not since I met Charwie ;o; Charlie actually helps a lot with cuddles and babby-related stuff, now, so I feel a whole lot better!

I'm a master imagine-naut. I used to blast off into space all the time until it became detrimental to daily tasks XD since then I've learned to curb it greatly

It happens on occasion with me.

I do every time I see a cat girl picture.

Every dollar we spend fighting a war is a dollar we are not spending on developing cat girls.

LOL, okay now serrious mode. Isn't it human nature to want what we can't have? So Naturally pictures of stuff you wish you could do would usually have that effect.

You know how I hate to bring Realism into the interwebs. But that's how it is.

Now for the fun part. That longing is a good feeling, a simple, subtle reminder that we are human/furries.

Besides dreams are more fun. I had a dream recently where I was in a video game like dream. (Don't ask, I forgot the details) I think it was a dungeon crawler. (LOL I shouldn't play as many video games..... HA HA HA let's get real here) And there are times when I think that something else besides the reality I live in now would be beter.

Like I could be a hero in a faraway land, or a assassin climbing his way to fame, or even just a farmer that has no idea what the outside world holds.

Each of those worlds hold their own challenges. Each of these worlds could have been a possiblity for me, but I got stuck here. and all and all, it's not too bad. I mean there are something I could live without. But my friends, my experiences, my memories... I wouldn't have those if I were those people.



Eh whoops kinda droned on there. If you read to this point put "Apple" in the reply post. Also if I drone on plz tell me. I get all soul searchy and weird. I think I got off topic...... heh whoops my bad. Sorry Gem if I bored ya

yup. all the time. particularily since I draw Sunk often in situations that i'm either in (currently, pregnancy.. blah, do not recommend) or wish i were in. also, i tend to do this in my writing too. all the emotions come out then.

There's quite a few pictures i've thought about and ended up not commissioning because of the emotional connection i'd want to have to them and know probably wouldn't happen.

Maybe I play too many video games, but when I see a picture of someone in a bad situation, I want to save them.
