Hopefully you guys had good time during the Summer season so far.

Today is quite a multiple things to celebrate and few milestones on my side.

As we all know, today is Bowser Day and social media is usually going wild with Bowser fanarts, will see what kind of arts there will be today.

But also at the same time, I got few milestones achieved.
16 years ago on this date, I created Furaffinity account and started my journey in furry fandom as a lion named Jake.
Even if my progress with new art has been bit sluggish comparing to my first couple of years on FA and I'm feeling little bit embarrassed about that... I'm still doing my best to get time to do some new pics.
Latest couple of pics I posted here, I was able to find an art tutorial Youtube channel and while watching those, I decided to use couple of the arts I did by following the tutorial as a background art and I personally liked those a lot. There's one pic of similar way coming up at some point as unfortunately my plan to get it done by today failed slightly ^//^
But it's been really good practice to reintroduce my other OCs and give them some spotlight too, after drawing Jake for the most of the time.

Plus 2 years ago on this date, I created Bluesky account (with invitation code I got from  hornetv2 during Bluesky's Invitation only phase) as a soft launch of eventual departure from certain bird site and as on New Years Day 2024, I have been there most of the time ever since and I haven't regret that decision at all.
On July 3rd, 2023 I also made Mastodon account for the same reason as with the eventual Bluesky account.
I'm trying my best to keep it as updated as possible too, maybe trying to figure out more on what to post in there. (Maybe I should use Openvibe app for that more or something~)


Summer has been quite good for me so far. Obviously, Pokemon Go has kept me REALLY busy as there hasn´t been so much break on with different in-game events, though got my Pokemon shiny collection for the national shiny dex lots of additions with that.
Otherwise, I've been enjoying the Summer (with it's heat and occasional storms, there wasn´t that many rainy or thunderstormy days this Summer on my side x3), trying to find a job and going to the gym 3 times a week while trying to get some kind of routine for my life. Maybe I should try to go swimming in the lake and get my "Winter coat" off, before the Summer ends and lakes are getting gradually freezing cold x3

But for now, that's all the random rambling from me for this journal.
I'm really sorry for slow art posts and journal updates here, I try my best to get that creative boost back in me somehow ^^

I'll see you on the next journal post, everybody!

Your friendly lion,
Jake
