It's been a long time hasn't it?
3 years ago
General
Last time I made any kind of journal update here was two years ago now. A lot changed since then, went from a Sergal named Elysium to my Nevrean called Yoko. I started Uni last year and I'm now in second year, which lead me to draw way less as a result. That's pretty unfortunate but that's how life is.
Nowadays I'm mostly working on my studies as a CS student and I try to draw when I have the time or when I'm not crumbling from exhaustion. I still draw Sergals from time to time, even tho my main focus has been on Nevreans for more than a year now. I still plan to expand my works on more than just these two and I'll probably get around to actually do something at some point.
But yeah that journal wasn't for that alone. With the recent twitter situation, a lot of artists, myself included, realized that having only one main platform to post never was a good idea, especially when it's a platform so hostile to artists (and now even more considering the dickhead leading it). So ya, from now on I'll try to post and interact more here as well. I already started by posting recent WIPs in my Scraps folder. As much as I think twitter isn't gonna die anytime soon, it's still an unstable platform to stay on, and I wouldn't want to get cut from everybody if said platform has to end.
Hope y'all have a good day/evening/night, and see y'all later!

Try making an account on a furry mastodon instance! It's less active than twitter but also way less toxic and safer in general.

I’ll be honest I have no idea how that thing works and from what I’ve heard, it’s really not noob friendly. The fact that nothing is centralized and that sharing with other instances is so difficult makes it very hard for me to want to try it. If I had someone to guide me through it I guess things would be different x)

Well with the new layout on FA it's not too bad. Now if only they would implement a proper messaging system then it would really kick off. But I'm sure people will notice your presence here as nevrean artists are very favored.

people with clout on twitter have been deliberately mischaracterizing mastodon that way because they don't want their audience to leave twitter. I started mastodon a few weeks ago and found it trivially easy to get a hang of. Sharing between instances isn't difficult, it's literally no different than posting exclusively within your own instance. if you want some help and/or an invite to an instance I like, I could for sure.

I’ll probably give it a go when I have more free time, Uni is kicking my butt for now :'>
