It's been a bit, hasn't it?
9 months ago
Time for a new journal, since the last one was from my last birthday... so Happy (Belated) New Year to everybody! Hope you've been doing well. In my area it decided to snow for a week straight to make up for not really having any snow around Christmas, and then it snowed so much, we had to dig ourselves out to even get to the mailbox... and now we're finally dug out enough to resume normal life again!
In the meantime, I've been doing that thing where you just think about things and get lost in your own thoughts, and I have no idea if that's a good thing or not. First thing's first, I'm actually thinking about just... getting rid of Cheekers.
Just kinda tired of him, and if it wasn't for this account being named the way it is, (that, and my 'burner' email also being named the same) I would probably have done this already and possibly have made a "replacement" fursona for him already... and knowing me, I probably also would have tried to reverse these changes at least once because part of me would have regretted making that decision. But now seeing as FA finally updated their tagging system so you can block certain tags, I'm hoping the feature to "rename your account" might come soon. As for Cheekers, I'm still keeping him, I've noticed I go through these phases and I probably don't want to get rid of him after all.
Speaking of changes I kinda regret and kinda don't. Last year I bought one of those adoptables that was technically somebody's old fursona/OC that came with a bunch of artwork... and I haven't really done anything since.
I was going to wait until I updated the design before showing him off, did some doodles working out those changes but then I just kinda... wasn't feeling it anymore. It was already "too late" since the owner didn't want him anymore, I'm just kinda stuck with this design that I can either sell, give away, or just... delete and forget I spent the $300ish what I thought at the time was a good idea.
Why was this a good idea? I was going to create a similar design at the time, and thought it would cut out the middleman to just buy someone's old design and change two small details.
He was going to be a new version of Johnny Spade, but this was before the skunk idea that in itself hasn't gone anywhere yet. I still haven't nailed down the details still flip-flopping between the dark gray belly or the white one, and all of the other sketches I've done have been uncolored stuff that I'm probably not going to post. I still think skunks are underutilized as a species (especially in the fatfur space), but I may end up scrapping all of that work and just do similar things to a different species that's more liked.
Had a few ideas for stories and/or comics... They're just rough ideas, that I haven't worked some of the more finer details. I might do some guest work for The Bens comic, but I still have to talk that out with the guy who does the comic...
Hmm, what else? My biggest problem is that since I'm working from home, I just don't start any personal projects that take a lot of time and effort, and by the time I have some personal time, I'm just too drained...
