Looking to 2012
14 years ago
I'd like to thank everyone for visiting this page, as well as those of you who have favorited and/or commented on my images. I came to FA to try and get myself motivated to become better at drawing, and drawing anthro was my main motivation. While my images still have anatomical quirks here and there, it's nice to be able to see where I was a year ago and compare it to my last image. Getting the line drawing down is still a near-impossible endeavor for me, but I'm slowly improving.
I can't explain it, but there has always been something about furry art that has made me happy; perhaps it's the idea that we can become something greater than ourselves by incorporating an identity beyond what we were born as. Perhaps it's the pleasing color contrasts and emotive line work. Maybe it's because I've always enjoyed science fiction and fantasy because of its lack of fear to express creativity. Whatever the reason, I've met a lot of great people because of it. I've also met some scary people, and people who simply make me go O.O.
One of the great people I've been able to connect with is no longer with us. I wish there was something I could have said or do to change that. If you or someone you know is feeling down or alone, please go out of your way to let them know that someone is thinking about them. No matter what, no one person is alone. If you're feeling frustrated and trapped, do something crazy that you've always wanted to do but were afraid to try. People who have nothing to lose really have everything to gain. If there is someone in your buddy list that you haven't said hi to in 2 years, say hello so they know that they are not forgotten.
I don't know what my 2012 will bring. No one really does. Take a moment to silence the background noise of this crazy world to hear the voice within that knows what really matters. Today can be predicted, yesterday can be quantified. The best part of tomorrow is that we don't know what is going to happen. If someone can embrace that possibility and realize that they are on that same journey with billions of other people--every day--it's only a matter of time before you find the people you were meant to find.
