A Quiet Series of Months
8 years ago
Hello FurAffinity,
It's been a long time since I have been active on here. Since May, it seems~
I wish I had a better excuse for why I started posting less and less and eventually disappeared for half a year, but I suppose all I can say is that I've been enjoying life and haven't kept up with my personal art as much.
It's easy to wait for New Years to start a resolution, but Nov. 4 is just as good a time as any! I'll make a greater effort to start painting again, and to post those paintings as I see them complete.
In a sense, I haven't felt lately like my art has been up to my own standards, making me apprehensive to produce and, further, post them online. Ironically, the lack of practice is likely what has made me feel so stagnant and novice lately! In addition, petty worries and insecurities took hold and made me feel it was okay to just let my account quietly go out. At the moment, I think those thoughts are foolish, and it should be my goal to continue to learn, and share my progress along the way!
I will still admit, though, that it is easier to find me posting to Twitter these days. As much as I love FurAffinity and its strange wonders, it's simply more convenient for me to post images and sketches as they happen quickly on social media. If you're wanting to see more frequent updates from me, I suggest you follow me there TruNorthArt.
Looking back, I have had a spectacular year, but similarly to last year, there has been a dearth of art from me. I'm not sure what will ultimately provide the motivation I need to produce more frequently, but it is my intention to start painting more frequently.
Thank you all for the continued support, and I hope to share more art soon.

One way or another it's nice to see you attempting to become active again, and of course that you had a great year so far, that's two rather nice positives i would say!
And thank you for the kind words, it's nice thinking about being social and active with art again. I have so much to learn!
