Past haunting me
11 months ago
Hey
So the past few days I’ve been a bit down and depressed from some stuff in the past when I started Art
I’ll make it quick
I went on Twitter and talked to a popfur and asked for tips on being a furry artist and in a way I looked up to em.
I went and did a fanart of em as a teacher for their bday and it was like one of the few first drawings I did at the time
Honestly they did say thanks in the dms but they never even have the curtesy to share it on FA or Twitter at the time. I asked what was wrong with it and they replied “The eyepatch is always on and it’s only to be drawn by close friends”.
At that point I feel like crap and took some time to get myself together. My friends at the time loved that I made it and took my first steps in as an artist. And now later, it still hurts that they never took the time to share something I took to make as a gift.
As I look at more art on Twitter(before it became a shitshow) I found a Hyena Character I grew fond of and believe it or not it’s the same popfur I talked to a few years back. And literally my emotions of hurt came back.
I don’t like the popfur. At this point I just hate them entirely and somehow the popfur literally work with other popfurs in making stuff. And don’t get me started on the art. I’m sorry I literally hate what an artist made up a 3D version of Krystal from Starfox and the other amazing furry characters out there too. I love art but when it brings back the worst memories, it hurts.
And after seeing some models i dont like at all from the creator i dont like including the characters they gonna make in the future and the popfur i made fanart when i was starting as an artist and didn’t get a public thanks on twitter in 2019
my damn curiosity never knows what can help or hurt me.
Idk what problems I’m having now
The 3D artist I don’t like have a list and I see they’re working with the popfur too
I literally hate popfurs both artist and non artists that I’ve interacted with
Not all furs are jerks
And their is an aquientince of mine that has a server that like the models and keep showing em in their server would say “grow up, it’s not gonna hurt you”
It may be an nsfw server but mental health is seriously important
I would confront all of em but I feel like it ain’t gonna accomplish shit
But I wanna make it clear to everyone
When you get art (weither it’s a gift or a trade) take the time to thank the maker and share it too. Even if it’s from a smol artist it brightens their day so much to em. 
You should be proud of the work you did, regardless of their reaction to it. You were inspired, and you created something from it. And that in itself is a wonderful reward you can look back on as an accomplishment.
Look how far you've come as an artist too! Nevermind what those people are doing in their lane. Lord knows, I know all about how it feels to be triggered in this community ... But getting to draw with folks from our server and meeting them in person, reminds me that the real interactions and the ones that matter, are the ones we make in person. Keep doing what you love. And if there's no one there to appreciate it, appreciate your work all the more!
