Still feeling a little lost, life is up and down
2 years ago
General
Just so tired of trying to find a way to connect with artist. I just feel a kind of void in my life where social interactions used to be. It’s getting harder and harder to find a place to share art.
Last year I tried to double down on FA. I even bought premium. But clearly this site is dying.
Beyond the rule updates there just isn’t as much activity. A lot of sad journals recently echoing this feeling. I want the site to work so bad but it’s had so many flubs recently.
The funny thing is outside of missing furry communities I’m doing very well! I started a new sketch book in March and it’s already 2/3 full of little pantings, ink work, and studies.
My son is starting to talk and we get to go on so many adventures together. I love him so much.
I started playing Honkai Star Rail and I really like it. I loved Genshin Impact but just never had the time to keep up. Star Rail is much more manageable. March 7th is my favorite!
But I don’t know where to post my art. :( It’s totally random. Some of it isn’t fully finished. FA has been my main gallery site for almost 10 years. I can host it on my own but that has its own challenges.
It’s beyond furry in someways... The internet as I know it is breaking. Everything feels like an ad. I find it harder and harder to find content and websites I like.
It’s tough because I have very few friends with the same hobbies as me IRL. I’m not sure if I’m ever going to get to make it to another convention. I’m just not in the right stage of life for it.

For what it's worth, it sounds like you've got a lot of things together and are winning at life. You've got a family, you're honing your artistic abilities, and you've got time for hobbies and games. Thanks for checking in with us!
Do you have an idea of what website you will use to post your art in the future and ways of sending updates about yourself?
You know that no matter what, you will always be my friend and I always love talking to you and seeing your art? You are always one of my favorite artist, one of the nicest person, and one of my best friends. I will always have the utmost respect for you as a person, a friend, and an artist, Kitty. You are always the cutest polar bear as well. Seeing your updates on your life, seeing your art, and talking with you always makes my day better. You know that you can always chat with me anytime you want to, Kitty? ^^
You should be very proud with your life, Kitty. You have a family, you are improving your awesome art skills, and you have time to do some of your hobbies. I am so proud of you.
I will continue posting to FA for the foreseeable future. I just don't know how much longer it will last. I will absolutely post on here if I transition to posting to a different site.

I also feel you on the "femme" thing. Almost all of my hobbies skew male and it's rough trying to find friends especially IRL. I think a lot of the local furries I've tried to talk to didn't really know what to do with me! I miss the age of sparkledogs and oekakis XD
You have...
Twitter, Furaffinity, Buzzly.art, Tumblr, Instagram, and Facebook to name a few. ^_^
