Me, my Art and a Apology.
2 years ago
♥Greetings!♥
I often don’t talk first and I should not have to apologize for that.
I’m just one of those "don’t talk unless spoken too" person.
Tips are welcomed!
Hello all or at least those that still bothers to keeping and eye out after some signs of life and art from me still.
Uhm... I know I shouldn't feel like I need to say this but in a way I do.
I apologies for the lack of activity and lack of art the last few years, my drive and motivation to draw has been very low to pretty much non existent.
As well that most if not all recent art being non-furry related, now I still consider myself furry and love the furry community even though I don't participate much in it, I wish I did though but life and a mind full of anxiety hinders me.
Which is why I'm still happy to at least have my art, but as said the last few years have been very lackluster of that content as well.
The few pieces of art I have done have been mostly fantasy related but if most of all RP centric since I started the RP life through the game Conan Exiles.
As I wrote last year I had planned to get a screentablet but unfortunately last year burnt all my savings because of veterinary bills, first my old lady Sienna got hurt at the beginning of the year and then at the end of the year my sweet boy Ceasar got bladder issues 2 times, so bad I almost thought I'd loose him, but he's doing well now with a changed diet, but that doesn't mean I still worry because if he gets issues again I probably wont be able to pay the bills for it and have to say goodbye to my little man.
All I can wish for is as many years as possible for him.
But yes that plus several dentist appointments for myself burnt all my savings to ash and such crushed my hopes of being able to upgrade my art station as the current way of drawing for me isn't the most optimal or comfortable, but I make do when I get a spurt of inspo from the RP I do.
So again I apologies for the lack of activity, I do want to get into the groove of drawing more and more diverse things, but it is a uphill struggle.
I'm still here though, I'm not planning on leaving anywhere or nowhere even though I don't show much sign of life here.

To be honest I didn't expect this many comments on this journal, which is warming to see. :)
When you post is when you post. I'm still here watching, and likely will be until such times I bail on the site.
Take care of yourself first; you can't create if your not in the right headspace. The art comes when it comes.
Really wish I could get back to stream the RP as well but anxiety makes it hard to press that darn button.
I know, so glad there is more to choose between when it comes to screentablets that isn't worth a fortune and I have been looking to get a XP-pen as I've heard good reviews of it for a decent penny from people I know. :)
But at least the cats are okay and should be in decent health for the time being!
Yeah, I actually have an XP-Pen and I bought it for like $300 but tbh, I hardly ever use it 😅 The main reason I got it was to see if I could finally bridge that gap and draw digitally and while it felt better than using a traditional tablet, I still just couldn't get used to drawing this way and haven't touched it since. But I can say that for those who want to make that leap, it's definitely a lot easier in comparison to the traditional tablet.
I'm just too stuck in my ways of sketching traditionally but I might try to use the screentablet again in the future haha.
Oh really. Yeah I can think it's a bit to change to familiarize with after having drawn on a regular tablet for so long, but then again it took a bit to get used to when going from paper and pencil to tablet :)
Yeah the only small test on drawing on screen was on my phone with artflow (if I remember right) and sure it was a bit weird to draw but then again I didn't have the best stylus pen either XD so of course that made it more difficult but I did get a drawing out of it, hehe.
För min del är fantastik lika välkommet som pälsisar! Är det något forum där du känner dig mer bekväm med fantastiken, och publicerar mer, så kan jag försöka följa dig där.
Vänliga hälsningar,

Å e de nåt jag lärt mig de senaste åren så e de att bara ventilera ut saker, vad dom än e, för de e inte bra att hålla på saker å låta de gro å sprida gift i huvet.
Never good keeping things bottled up either no matter what it is!
That said I don't think people would mind seeing your non-anthro works. I also do both, anthro and human images and while the human ones aren't as popular as my anthro pieces, but they still do have an audience :3
So even if my drawing flow is low it is nice whenever I get a spurt of energy to draw something that has inspired me and RP sure has helped with that.
Indeed I hope so at least, but yeah even if it isn't most peoples cup of tea I'm still wanting to share any new stuff I've made and hopefully I'll get my full on groove to draw more actively again with time!
