Where the airinotical intercourse have I been?
8 years ago
So I am not really sure if people follow or care anymore but if you have noticed the period of dead silence from me it is because this semester has been nightmarish. Please excuse my lack of updates and responses. I read them but often times these days I only have moments to give a short glance at this site and any updates and other times that I have to browse I am so tired that I can't really muster up the energy to comment. What energy my school doesn't drain me of, my ex makes continual attempts to finish off and he is far more successful at doing that than I really care to admit.
There is a bit of a silver lining. It's given me time and incentive to really access my head-space and try to build a story and solidify some details as well and brainstorm new ideas. My mother suggested that I rough out chapters in storyboard fashion before attempting finished pages and it was a great idea, so a lot of the time I do have to draw has been spent doing that. I won't show that work because honestly, the times I have shown work in progress it was received rather coldly. Likewise, I have dealt with a lot of negative feedback over the fact that my stuff isn't solid and that I often end up scrapping ideas and changing things. I realize that it's difficult to get into something and then have it change, but I'm not trying to publish at the moment and so what I have shown in my galleries are examples of my process. I can't just sit down and shit out a vapid furry comic like a lot of artists do. I'm a bit more serious about my craft than that. I have had things said to me and I am also aware that the number of people that care to see my work has dwindled because of that quite drastically and so I have made the decision to focus more on finalizing things before they ever get put online. Doing this takes time though so until I can establish something solid, updates will be slower.
To those of you who have supported my work and interacted with faves or feedback, Thank you, as it means a lot. To anyone that has just started watching me, hang in there, I'm working on stuff and it hopefully will be worth it. For now though, real life is playing hard ball with my life and time and I am doing my best. Thank you for your patience and support guys. Cheers.

Yeah, I think it's important to love what you do: to put something "good enough" out there just for the sake of having it almost diminishes the integrity of artists in general. I'm glad you're choosing to stick with what you want to do instead of what you my have been pressured to feel you ought to do!
I too am not on this site often enough, but nonetheless, I look forward to what you create!
Best wishes!
