So.

I've been thinking about it for a while now. And I wanted to do a species change.

When I first was informed of the whole furry thing, the raccoon species was kinda thrust upon me. Something about having a funny reaction (at least amongst my friends) to a raccoon character lifting his skirt and showing off their erection. When I was exploring it at first, I know I picked up a tiger. Did the whole stolen art as an RP avatar thing. (It was 2005. DIfferent times.)

Clearly you've seen all of the characters that I've had made over the years. They've all have some aspect of me within them, be it some form of kink that I'm too scared to explore (Ivana) or them having been relevant for a good part of my life/hobbies (Greifer).

But a few years ago, I was reminded of the fact that my fursona's species and my race kind of have an awkward racial slur history to it. It didn't really bother me as much as it should have, but it was always kind of poking at the back of my mind every now and again. If you actually look at the handles I use outside of FA, just about all of them don't use the AtomicCoon moniker. It was a minor change to shift to the Ingtail persona. And of recent, I've felt that the physical representation of myself needed to change.

I'm not going to abandon this account. Mainly because I really don't want to go through the hassle of having to re-upload all of my art. At least not right now.

I'm also not getting rid of Atomic. I've had him for 14 years. He's almost old enough to buy cigarettes. Just need to figure out how to use him now. That'll be for another day, though.
