Hey there. Still alive, mostly lurking(here, anyway)

Commission queue Trello board: https://trello.com/b/sEYNXMHt/art-commissions
Hey there, this is just a journal to say I'm still alive, though right now I'm still mostly lurking.
I still comment and fave here and there, but otherwise I'm not following stuff too closely(it's not infrequent I nuke my notification box when it grows too big between visits).
Consider today's journal post a bit of "what the fuck a crow has been up to since all that radio silence".
Otherwise I've actually still been active, but mostly on my Twitter/Weasyl/Transfur(they remain the easier sites for me to keep track off while I'm busy, and even then I've decided to upload art only when I feel the quality/level is worth it. People who like my painted work may like this but those who care for sketch sequences may be disapointed). Overall, even if I'd stopped posting here I've always continued to take on commissions as followers on Weasyl and Twitter or patrons on my Patreon can attest.
January has been pretty busy with a lot of digital painting made as people following me elsewhere may already be aware though February hasn't seen me make as much art as I wanted(in big part I've been dealing with anxiety again though I'm working on managing that).
Overall I've begun tentatively stretching what I work on into different types of avenues and genre. Some people may like, some people less so. But it's been a bit fun to at least get to get on one notable non-TF painting recently and flex my art muscles with themes different than what I'm usually asked to.
I'm still unsure when I'll resume posting art here or in what form, but I figured folks may enjoy a bit of an update rather than continuing to watch a stale gallery.
This said, if I have a major announcement to make in the future, do expect me to share words of here as well.
In the meanwhile, here's where I'm still mostly active:
Transfur: Generally updated. Most confirmed TF works I feel good about get shared there, even some of the basic sketches.
http://www.transfur.com/Users/fringedog/Gallery
Weasyl: I try to keep this one up to date as well, though generally I tend to post only digital painting or toned paper traditional inks. Sketch level stuff is something I've decided to not clutter the gallery there anymore. This mean slower frequency in uploads, but ones I feel are generally a much better quality... and frankly, more satisfying for me to share and receive comments on.

Twitter: Where I'm most active, and even take(or share contact infos with interested clients) a fair bit of commissions. I do warn I can semi-frequently share a lot of politics stuff and occasional rant. Nonetheless this is the account that I keep the most up to date at all time. Just expect a lot of rambling between every actual art uploads.

Patreon: There's also my Patreon, which is possibly the place I keep the most up to date after my Twitter and can be assured to be almost entirely focused around my artwork. I try to keep it updated frequently, and patrons have access to a lot of exclusive piece of artwork, warmups and practices I have never posted anywhere else. Some months are slower than other, but I still do my best to make it worth it for all my patrons.

Redbubble: Finally but not least, I've opened some time ago a tiny storefront on Redbubble. The place is very sparse and still doesn't have a whole lot of content, but I certainly think some people here may find a couple of works there that may be of interest to them. I consider this a bit of an interesting avenue for more experimental works that I feel have potential but generally got outside of my usual spheres. I very much expect to continue growing the place gradually as time pass however.

And I really cannot afford the stamina to track down and post every single sketches I make for people just to make sure I keep up and remain visible for people who're not watching me yet.
The "gains" ultimately felt increasingly more uncertain since in general the majority of my commissions all came from outside furafinitty over the last couple years(twitter, large private messenger groups, people who found me on Transfur. Admitedly less on Weasyl but I keep that gallery mostly as an easily maintained repository).
I'll like become a bit more active in the future nonetheless, but it'll likely be mostly for big announcements. Will have to see how things go.
I follow your Twitter as I don't use transfur and I swore off weasyl
