Where on Earth (or some extra-terrestrial entity) am I?
8 years ago
Greetings everyone,
So it might not've gone unnoticed just how much time has passed between my last upload and now. I have about ten minutes to kill, so I figured it was about time I updated you all on where I am. The main theme of this journal is to outline the numerous differences that've happened in my life since my last upload, that will change my creative output...probably for good. Firstly, I've actively been putting my drawing on hold; I realised that I'd hit a glass-ceiling in terms of quality, and that the only way I was going to get any better would be to devote hours on end to improving many, many aspects of my shading and composition, and that was time I simply did not have. My University Degree always comes first, and that's in full swing as far as work is concerned (it likely will be from now until May next year). Now I haven't let go of my creativity completely; I'm still writing odd things here and there to pass the time, but nothing major.
Over the past hour prior to writing this, I also realised a major part of why I was reluctant to come back to any of my Furry Art pages. See, my most recent drawing uploads have featured Nathan, my Labrador character, in various poses in his undies, and...basically, I'm kind of ashamed to have drawn any of my characters like that. I was drawing not what I *wanted* to draw, but what I thought would give me views; I much prefer envisaging my characters doing things I would've wanted to do either as a child or the young-adult that I am now, and as such, I'm making a promise to myself to not draw any NSFW (even Semi-SFW) art for the foreseeable future (unless things get really bad, then dicks for days xD!). Sod the number of views; I'm going to draw art that I want to draw, because then I'll feel a lot more proud of it. I am looking to change some aspects of my existing characters, just to keep things fresh, and this leads onto the final part of my journal.
See, I currently have a crush on a guy, and though I won't go into the details of it, I think this whole experience has made me reflect back upon my creative side. Things I write or draw from now on will reflect the experiences I'm having with him (it's worth noting at this point that he doesn't know I have a crush on him; we're only seeing each other as friends...for now). Hopefully you'll see the fruits of my labour soon enough.
Hopefully that clears a few things up as to where I am, and where I hope to be.
Over and out,
MuddyMonkey
