Hello, everyone.
A month has passed since I was in the middle of that tracing fiasco. I know I am being thick, but please bear with me for a moment.
I have had a passion for painting since I was a child. I still find joy in painting, and I am more than happy when people enjoy my work.
However, some people were offended that I had repeatedly committed the sacrilege of tracing, and over the past month, painting has at times turned into a painful experience.
I was sure that I would receive a flood of criticism from my fan for doing something that could not be called the worst thing a creator can do, and I was prepared to fall into a state of irreversibility where no one would stand by me and I would be unable to do any more creative work for the rest of my life. I was so anxious that everyone would leave me in my sleep.
Some of them are also saying, 'Father thinks he can make a nice picture without tracing! 'No one is good at it from the beginning! Tracing is necessary to improve! He gave me words of encouragement such as, "You don't need to trace,I would like to thank once again all of you for your support, despite the fact that I was invited by a certain person who always looks at my work to participate as a guest at Fanzine before, which caused a great deal of trouble for unrelated participants in the midst of working on a manuscript.
I was disappointed to see my followers and favorite artists who had been looking at my work perceive me as a "malicious artist who traces" and leave me, and I sometimes felt suffocated when I saw them on other platforms or in user searches.
I wonder if that person who still remains with us is still around... and I like them, but I'm afraid to search for users because I'm afraid that they have unfollowed me or, worse, blocked me.
I blamed myself so much for having gained fame in tracing for more than seven years that it crossed my mind to atone for it by stabbing myself to death with a knife and exposing my internal organs, or by burning myself to death.
In the end, I thought that, in death, I would have escaped from the guilt of what I had done.
Fans have voiced their concerns that I would delete my FA and X (Twitter) accounts, or that I would stop painting.
Don't worry, I'll be here long after X and FA itself are out of service.
If you delete your account, it means you are running away from your sins. If I stop painting I will no longer be here in this world. I will live as a Furry artist for the rest of my life and I have a dream that I definitely want to achieve through it.
Despite the worst thing I have done as a creator, as long as I have even one fan who is cheering and supporting me, I will not fail them.
Even after I apologized, I heard comments such as, "You can say whatever you want if all you do is talk," and "You're just going to wait and see, erase the apology and the work that was pointed out, and trace it again, aren't you?
I was strongly determined to continue drawing pictures even if I had to bleed, and to take action by continuing to post new works as soon as possible.
To all the artist who saw this jornal, please do not ever go off the path like I did.
Thank you for reading to the end.

The commission artwork that was pointed out to me for tracing was asked to be redrawn by the client and is still being redrawn.
Once completed, I will be sure to post it along with a Speed Paint using Clip Studio's Time Lapse feature.
I always do what I say I will do, For everyone who supports me, I will never fail them.
We don't want to repeat the mistake again.
I don't want to lose anyone else...
However that said: Tracing is okay to do for practicing your artwork. As long as you never trace other people's artwork for commissions and art trades and such, my lil buddy. =)
You'll be okay, just show everyone what you can really do. And I believe in you, I know you can turn it all around and everything. *engulfing hugs*
I learned a lot from the uproar, both in a bad and good way.
I don't want to lose any more people who support me.
I'll try to improve my ability even more, for everyone who is supporting me.
