Fellow Retrocubs, Please Speak Up
7 years ago
Hey, I don't know if anyone has noticed but lately I've been somewhat depressed and lonely, you can see it in my descriptions a bit and of course my story "Weasely" which is basically an allegory for the way I feel a lot of the time. Anyway, if you're a fan of my content you probably know a bit of the concept of what I've dubbed "Retrocubs", I even dedicated a whole group to the idea. Retro styled, warm and fuzzy kind of stuff, personally I just find that kind of thing to be incredibly endearing and heartwarming. It's one of the reasons messy art isn't in my galley and also why wetting is quite rare to see as well. With the exception of my older art I'm posting for curious fans who want to see my evolution Retrocub art is really my sole genre, it's what I'm passionate about and there's far too little of it out there.
I'm not gonna pretend to know why this stuff effects me so much, why this whole "Free To Be...You And Me" attitude of the 70's makes me all fuzzy and nostalgic, it just does. And listen, I'm not one of those people who says "Things were better back in such and such time" or "I was born in the wrong era", etc, that's not what this is about at all. I'm not gonna sit back and say "The 70's were so much better!", every decade has its ups and downs. But that's not what this is about, I don't want to make this stuff all politicized, my art is meant to bring people together regardless of who they are. What I'm trying to say is, Rocco and the idea, the reasoning behind him is incredibly special and personal to me. I don't know why, I just hold a special connection to the childhoods of that era.
And this brings us back to the reasons I've been so depressed lately. I feel really alone as a Retrocub, I struggle to find others who feel the same way I do about this stuff, I really haven't found any discussions about it or people who feel similarly. I don't know if it's just a niche thing since most kidfurs/babyfurs base their fursonas off their own childhoods and there's not a lot of older babyfurs who were kids in the 60s-70s? Maybe it's because people don't really like warm and fuzzy, heartwarming stuff as much as messy or erotica art? I just don't know but it's really been bothering me lately.
I guess what I'm asking in all of this is, if you're a retrocub, please let me know I'm not alone.

I like this idea quite a bit and all I can say is keep drawing, keep improving and your work will find an audience and you'll be amazed how fast it happens when it kicks in. I believe in you! <3

Oh my, thanks so much for the kind words, it really means a lot coming from you. This is an idea I find great comfort and passion in, I look forward to the future and what it may hold for my art and ideas. If you're interested I'm planning to post a bunch of stuff this Saturday centered on this concept!. <3
