Happy Paw Day 2024 + Reconsiderations
a year ago
Hello everyone! Sit down and listen up to what the kindest silver dragon has to say...
Happy day of beans to all of you good beans! Hope you had a good one filled with plenty of paws. I wish I could provide some more paw stuff for the occasion for you all to enjoy. I'd have to watch for potential paw commissions.
However, I'd have to admit that I've kind of lost in the self-confidence and satisfaction on my side about SilverMike as I grew older. What I mean is... I've always questioned myself about the look of SilverMike and how I wanted him to be, and I've realized way much later that I might have rushed on some aspects and not always took the right decisions. And because of that, I've always been so-so, in a way, to get more arts about him or even a fursuit. And yet, it's been years I've been identified as SilverMike and didn't do much about it and, in a way, I feel like "it's a bit too late now".
And so, I'm considering to either revamp SilverMike completely and get myself in a new identity -OR- keep him as is (with perhaps slight modifications) and create a brand new dragon-like character that could include a wyvern or even a kobold. I was also considering making another kind of character that would also reflect on my out-of-the-ordinary sexuality. Giving me two different ways to identify myself and have artworks about.
However, it's not such an easy decision to take and I'd have to work so much more on my laziness and lack of actions on my side, which I'm not always really proud of. But one thing is for sure: I will always stay a paw-loving and very cute and friendly scaly creature. I will always be myself despite the weaknesses I have.

Yeah, I understand you about it. I took some rushful decisions when I created my OC, but now I've changed some of them and I'm happy of what he looks like now ^^
Oh, it would be cool to see you having a new OC in case you considerate about that ^^
Don't hesitate asking help to your dear friend Ritch!
For me, people, including you, are not a physical things. No matter what your body is, what matters is who you are.
If you still not satisfied to keep him, but still not sure, I would try to make him older. His body. Real you have got older, so make SilverMike to catch up with you.
In addition, you could give him some general clothes, some personality changes like more awareness or confidence. You know, something usual what people get as the grow older.
There are many things you can do with him while... keeping him as he is.
And, if all these wouldn't work, you can still change the entire body of 'yours' in art.
But, it would be wise to, at least, try to save 'SilverMike' of you. :)
I'm looking forward to whatever you decide.
