I'm retiring my main fursona
2 years ago
Devy, why are you retiring your main sona?
- so guys, in mid-2017 I joined the fandom and made my character with great affection and help from my ex, naturally she was connected to him [until because it was my first oc] and now after the breakup I can't connect with her like before, and also wouldn't have the heart to sell her [only if there was a lot of money involved, like at least $5k] most of her art he's involved with and that doesn't help at all when it comes to getting over the breakup and move on, so I decided to retire her and give her a dignified end [canonically speaking they are married with children]
Of course I will draw her on special occasions, but much less so.
The successor will inherit part of the Devonshire name | Devylinne .
Devy, but you don't have other sonas /ocs?
Yes, I do, but their purposes are not to represent me "publicly", they are more personal.
Cuddie (sheep) for example, she is the representation of my traumas, anguish, depression, apathy (I am not romanticizing, I am saying that she is the artistic representation of my feelings and my mental fatigue)
Heike (Bull terrier) is who I've been most like lately: going to the gym, taking care of myself and trying to be strong and so on. this takes a lot of work [besides paying a designer to create signatures, logos, etc.]
So it was more advantageous to assume a successor
"Ain but it's just a character"
-yes.. a character that I created, that represents me and that I have dedicated all the affection and effort in recent times
you can say whatever you want
You are not in my place to know what I feel and the complexity I attribute to my characters.
It's not just drawing, it's my artistic representation and how I feel š
I don't think about changing my stage name or signature, you can keep calling me Devylinn/Devy/, if by chance one day I change that I'll let you know

Endings are always bitter, but endings done on your own terms are bittersweet. I look forward to what comes next
