Hi everyone! Happy Valentines day <3 I know I am late, I was a busy bee the past couple days
I feel like I have been neglecting updating my furaffinity via journals lately, that's because I am typically more active in my discord server.
(which can be found here if you are interested in joining: https://discord.gg/VAQsTH3jJG)
But I understand some of yall might not use discord or like being in servers so I need to start being more active on my furaffinity.
Another thing I have noticed is that Furaffinity is lacking engagement, its not the same as it was even 5 years ago! It makes me a little sad that so many of us have become so quiet and makes me wonder whats happening? Do any of you notice this as well?
I guess onto my updates!
I want to thank all of my clients for being so patient and understanding with the current wait of my queue. I am working on art full time and I would rather take my time to create beautiful pieces/characters for you all rather then rushing pieces to get my wait times down, I am always putting 100% into my art, even if that means it takes much longer then I anticipated, that being said, I am thankful that all of you have been so patient and I do apologize that things seem so slow.
I am trying to learn new things to improve the quality of my art, not only that but I am working with an injury to my drawing arm. I have been dealing with pain / numbness in my right arm for quite a few weeks now, I've been hoping for it to go away on its own and that I just strained or pulled something but since it has persisted this long I'm going to be going to get it looked at by a professional.
I dont want to self diagnose, but I am concerned about a blood clot or a slight dislocation. I was born with limbs 2inches longer then the should be for my torso, which means I am prone to dislocations, when I was a child I dislocated my shoulder more times then I could count, I dislocated my knee 3 times and my back once, but I haven't dislocated anything since I was in highschool (over 10 years ago lol) The feeling reminds me a lot of the feeling I got in previous dislocations, but I have full motor movement of my arm.... so I'm not convinced its fully out of joint but potentially just not in a totally correct placement. Because of this, art has been a bit slow. I am still working 5 days a week and treating it as a full time job as I should! I just have been having to take extra time to ice my arm and a few more breaks then I would like. I feel very guilty about this but I promise I am doing my best to be as productive as I can.
I love drawing and creating, so I am very thankful for all my wonderful clients and watchers who support me in this journey. I am optimistic for my future and excited to learn Clip Studio which I recently received! It surely should help me move out of the stone ages of Sai 1 and improve my art and efficiantness. I no longer will have to draw a circle like 6x before I get it right since clip has tools for that LOL I wont need to spend 30 minutes drawing all the details of a rope or chain cause there are pens for that! I am really excited and think this program will help me streamline my art without losing any quality. My artwork is so slow because I do nearly everything by hand and not utilizing the tools that have been created for artists with these new programs. My current program is like 18 years old LOL
In regards to life updates unrelated to artwork,
I am happy to let you all know that Timber has been seizure free for 8 months!!!! Not a single episode and he is recovering sooo well. I am seeing progress in his mental clarity improving every day! I was even able to take him off one of his medications and we are fixing to reduce another.
Personally, I am striving to be more present in my social life. I noticed I was being a bit of a recluse and isolating myself, my social batter is so small and in response I often just do my own thing by myself. I have been trying to spend more time in calls with my friends and engaging with my community <3
I also have decided to cut ties with some people in my life who I would consider "The friends who actually hate you" lol I so badly wanted things to work with people who just didn't actually like me or at the very least didn't care about being my friend, so finally letting go of that and it has been such a weight off my shoulders.
I am doing well! I hope you all have also been doing well <3

I hope Timber also keeps improving!
And I am glad that you have cut out some bad "friends," freeiing yourself from negative influences is always a great step to happiness.
And speaking of happiness, I wish you a wonderful if late happy Valentine's. c:
It's nice to hear that Timber is doing okay too! I remember that his seizures were really concerning at one point, so it's kind on the heart to know that he's slowly coming off the meds and putting those health problems in the past.
FurAffinity does seem to be a little quiet when it comes to conversations and leaving comments. Not sure of the whole reason it is that way. Guess we'll see what becomes of it soon enough.
Clip Studio is pretty powerful! Two people I know got the Pro version a year ago and seem to be super happy with it.
Keeping good thoughts for you!
Goodness. I hope your arm is doing as well as possible. No problem on delays, especially with a physical injury. Take as many breaks as you need and please don’t feel guilty for it. You’re a human being and need breaks for food, rest etc as much as any person does. Spectacular quality art like yours takes time and effort, after all the Mona Lisa wasn’t made in a day. It took a ton of days with multiple techniques, most that aren’t visible to the human eye without magnifying glass items.
That’s wonderful that you got a newer art program that should help with your drawing. I truly hope it helps.
That’s wonderful news about your pupper. I’m so happy he’s doing better and been seizure free for so long.
I’m glad you’re letting those bad people go and that you’re feeling so much better since doing that. This wolf, all of my characters and many others genuinely love (platonically of course) and care about you.
Always wishing you all the best.
