hello my friends so surik.
a year ago
General
Two years have passed and it's time for a little update.
First of all, I am very sorry that I have been very inactive here, and I would like to go into a little more detail as to why.
The first reason I haven't uploaded anything here lately is that it's been happening more and more often that my commissioned art is being uploaded somewhere without my permission, especially on deviantart, where for the eighth time now someone has uploaded my art without giving credit or mentioning the artist.
And the last incident was on October 21, when a good friend informed me that someone had uploaded my art, I wrote to the person to please take the art down and of course I didn't get a reply either and what annoyed me immensely when I also wrote to the support team to create a ticket, you don't get a reply, they don't care, And in another incident, where a friend was also affected, it took two months for deviantart to take action and remove the images, That's one of the reasons why I was pretty demotivated to upload anything.
And the next point I would like to address is Twitter, or rather x, The site has become very unpleasant in the meantime or has been for some time, not only because of the spam, you hardly get offered anything that interests you or that you follow, except for advertising and some spam bots that constantly try to follow you, I had to restrict my account so that not everyone could follow me, and it was also very demotivating for me to be active there.
And I'm also sorry that I haven't been online in Discord or Telegram as much lately, because I'm very reserved myself and have suffered from depression since childhood, Most people who know me know that, I just wanted to mention it for those who don't know.
I would like to become more active here on FA again, but this time without time pressure and at my own pace.
thank you all for taking the time to read it i love you all <3

FA+

I can understand the annoyance of not being credited, especially when its your creation, literally seen people on discord just taking art i made and posting it on server, with no link.
I need to invest in a logo, for my 3D renders, probably the only way to fixed that.
Also im sorry to hear you’re going through a lot.
Really i do hope you been improving a bit since then and hope you can branch out more.
Like everything on the internet there’s going to be problems, But if you can still find joy in what you do, at least focus on that part.
I wish you well friend, i really do
ive also been dealing witha bit of "depression" i guess you could say, as its been ages sense i had uploaded a single thing to FA, or anywhere really, but ive finally started coming out of it a bit. itll be rough, and take a bit of time, but im sure youll be back to your normal self.
ive even been trying to be more active both on discord and this site, as i too have just not really talked much to anyone, even my friends. hopefully things turn around for you, and hope you become more active once again.
Take the time you need, we will wait for you ^^
As for twitter, I will move on to Bluesky exclusively too soon, so I suggest to go there too and just abandon twitter. The more furries do it, the more furry art will be on Bluesky.
I hope you feel better soon and I welcome you being more active here! <3
