Any specific reason? Or just don't feel like it?

It's hard to explain well, but I just can't seem to make myself compatible with the furry art community in general.
The things I like most about furry art and furry porn aren't really things that anyone else is interested in, plus my tendency to draw too many different character types makes it hard for me to have a single, consistent "brand" to engage people with. It just results in a lot of unfinished ideas that don't seem to go anywhere or really speak to anyone in particular, and at this point I'm spending more time sitting around wondering what to draw than actually drawing.

Honestly I'd say even if you feel what you like isn't broadly liked or such, you should still draw what you enjoy! You'll always find people who like your stuff, and your art is pretty cute in general so even if you don't have a consistent body type or so, it still works in my opinion!

I have to agree. And I'm not here because you draw any specific "brand", I'm here because you draw well.

I really appreciate it, thank you.

I'm glad you think so! I think at this point though, posting art is only making me feel more isolated, which is just doubling the stress of my already isolated offline life.

Fair enough, honestly if it's making you feel isolated, it's definitely not worth it. If it helps, know that you've got lots of people here like me who seriously love your art - I wouldn't have followed you if I didn't! And as much as you feel people wouldn't connect with your stuff or what you want to explore etc, we're here. If you want to try again one day know that we'll be around! Hope it's not too sappy or something, just trying to express an idea, and I'm having a hard time lol

Hmm, may i ask what is it that you like in art you feel the fandom isn't interested in?

I don't think there is a set style or theme that all artists must adhere to to be liked, sure there are common styles and themes people like, but there's always room for niche art :)

I've been in a few different art communities over the years all of them have some guidelines or expectations as to what is and isn't acceptable, however i feel that furries in general are very openminded about a lot of stuff, not everyone is into everything and you get people who hate certain things enough to harass artists, but that shouldn't discourage you from drawing what you like :D

Honestly you will never satisfy everyone, or even most people, but if you're forcing yourself to draw stuff you don't wanna draw that will only lead to you resenting your own art, and that is really bad not only for your growth as an artist, but also to your own well-being and mental health :/

With what you describe (not having a brand, experimenting with styles and characters, thinking about drawing more than actually drawing) i can relate to incredibly well, because i've been going through the same frustrations for a while now myself, thats why i have months long hiatuses and why i change my style a lot, if i'm completely honest, i did leave the fandom myself a few times in the past because i didn't feel like it reflected what i want with art, but i always gravitate back to the fandom because as i said, i feel this is the most open and welcoming fandom there is ^^

Recently i have been on a quest to find new and inspiring artists because i seek inspiration and a different perspective that may help me experiment more, thats how i found your gallery :3

It's good to shake things up every now and then when in a rut, but for what it's worth, what made me watch you is that your art looks and feels very spontaneous, fun and interesting, and that is something i feel i need more of in life myself :)

In any case, sorry for being long-winded, if you decide to leave, know that you will be missed, and i would love to follow you elsewhere if thats the case :)

Tumblr has sadly become very puritanical lately, but looks like Twitter is where furs and artists of other fandoms seem to congregate now, even i resurrected my own account recently, despite not being fond of that website ;)

Hope you find what you're looking for hon *hugs tight* take care ^^

I appreciate your thoughts, encouragement and kind words, it really means a lot.

To explain about what I like, it's really just related to furry art's earlier years: using anthropomorphism to explore ideas about sexuality, kink and fantasy, creating original fiction, things like that. That was a time when furry was much smaller and anthropomorphism as an aesthetic was way less popular in general (among other major factors), so there was more of a spirit of consciously "reinventing" anthropomorphism for adults, for lack of a better way to put it.
Furry's growth has exploded over the years and the anthropomorphic aesthetic has made a huge comeback, so right now most furry art is focused on catering to the established furry fandom niches, and there isn't much interest in exploring concepts for the sake of it (or revisiting furry history for that matter). There's also a lot more pressure to find one's niche to have any kind of ability to connect with anyone at all, hence my concerns about branding: furry is big enough now that viewers aren't looking for generalized "furry art" - they're looking for their favorite specific subgenres of furry art.

So in the end, the problem for me isn't that I can't post what I like -- it's that it would be a one-way conversation at this point, because the wider interest isn't there. Furries are indeed open-minded and welcoming (and I'm endlessly grateful for it!), but unfortunately some things just don't have any traction in the community (or at least they don't have the same traction that they used to).
To be clear though, I'm NOT saying that the creativity has gone away from furry; it's still there, but it's just focused on the niches and subgroups and subgenres rather than engaging the broader concepts themselves. It's changed shape to suit the community's change over the years, but it just happens to be a change that puts me in an awkward spot.

As for other sites, Twitter is actually what made me realize that I was out of sync with furry at large, so unfortunately it's not going to work for me. Tumblr was potentially closer to providing what I was looking for, but as we know its time is all over, so I'm stuck for the foreseeable future.

Hmm, well, everything on the internet kinda does that, when a community is small the creators can take more risks, but eventually it grows and everyone either puts themselves into, or their fans push them into a specific niche, fans also become used to a lot of choice to get their specific thing they are looking for, so any creator that doesn't fit their criteria at least some of the time gets left behind.

I sadly also do that, but its more for economical reasons than anything else, there simply isn't enough time to get through all the thousands of daily pieces of art that get uploaded on FA alone, and quite honestly it gets impossible to enjoy art if you rush through it, so i guess i'm kinda part of the problem as well, but thats a problem i really can't see being solved, you can't turn back the clock and you can't thanos-snap popular artists or popular themes out of existence.

The only reasonable way it can be delayed is when new websites or communities pop up and everything is kinda reset, except not really for long, since then you get established artists migrating to said greener pastures and they bring their fans along, which in turn makes it harder for new or lesser known artists to gain much recognition at all.

In the end people like what they like, and it's in our nature to seek out comfort, and nothing is more comfortable than things we already like.

But i get your concerns hon, "what is the point of art if no one appreciates it" is the main thing i stress over myself when deciding what to draw, but at some point its gonna be a choice between doing art because it makes others happy or doing it because it makes you happy, neither choice is wrong or bad, however it's something you gotta figure out for yourself. You can deviate from the two choices of course, but those two are the main driving forces behind everything people do, so you gotta find out what is the reason you draw for and then make compromises to achieve your goals.

Awww, that's a shame. I love your art, especially the various skimpy outfits you draw, and I was so excited to see more! I'll stay a watcher though, and I'll be hoping you work things out! Take good care of yourself!

Thank you, I seriously appreciate it.

Just wanted to say that, like others here, I've enjoyed your art posts. I really liked that old dragon you drew a while back, but also some of your other characters. And I think you are very competent at drawing humanoid bodies/ anatomy. I hope you'll feel inspired to resume sharing your art here, eventually.
