Good luck on your future journey!

Sucks to lose someone as friendly and open-minded as you. I enjoyed every interaction we had and I hope I wasn't just some random horny furry for you to cringe at looking back.

You'll be missed Ren, but you gotta do what's best for you before anyone else.

I hope all goes well for you in all your endeavors!

Best of luck in future projects o7

Oh dear. I'm always saddened to hear of someone parting ways with the subculture on unhappy terms, but if something genuinely just upsets you consistently then it sounds like the right move for your own health. And it sounds like you've already thought about it. I say good luck to you - get out there and get the interaction you crave! Be happyyyyy!

I return your good wishes. Take care of yourself, Rengeki! (b ^v^)b

Take care out there.

This journal's definitely a mood; good for you for deciding what's best for you and sticking to it. And good luck out there!

Will you be nuking your gallery or would I have to save your art files?

I really am sad to hear you are leaving since I love your work, but I really hope you find peace and happiness in whatever you decide to do. <3

Sad to hear, but you have to do stuff you enjoy.

Best wishes and good luck!

I'm sorry to hear that this stuff doesn't do it for you. I wish you luck with your future endeavors though!

I'll also be keeping an eye out because Ren has a beautiful design and I hope the new owner is good to him too

I hope that you find what you are looking for ^^

wish i could take care of Rengeki for you but, i doubt i could compete in a auction for them.
Rengeki has been one of the inspirations for my character and motivation for drawing.

When it's time to go, it's time to go.

That's a strong move, and somewhat hard, but it's a right thing to do. If you don't feel that it fits you, if you don't feel like it's an essential part of you - it would be wrong to force yourself to stay. The best thing person can do for its own development, is to understand when things that used to fascinate you become a burden.

Only one semi-advice from random bystander - keep Rennar to yourself. Not because it's a parachute that you could use to return in fandom if needed, but because you once associated yourself with him, and that means that it carries a part of you in him one way or another. And giving it for someone else feels wrong. But it's only my opinion and it's absolutely unimportant.

I wish you luck in your future, especially in places that collide with art. If you'll feel like it's a right thing - leave a link to places where your new creations could be seen. Because your style is unique, outstanding and incredible, and there is no other like yours. Stay safe, stay happy. Good luck to you in your life <3

Have a good one.

im fully support you in your decision,
though personally id never sell my own fursona, id prefer to keep it as a reminder of the time i was a furry. Though i dont see me ever quiting the fandom i do see myself somewgat abandoning the fandom at some point, tho id prefer to call it retiring :P

any how i really support you in your choice, but really think more than twice about selling your actual fursona..

It's sad that you are leaving, but you clearly have thought a long time about this, and we support it! You have the right to do whatever you want, and nobody's opinion should matter more than your own about what you do with your life.
I hope that even tho some things haven't been good.. I do hope you have still met people or moments that brought positive things to remember!
I wish you the best, and I hope you find joy in your art again, and in anything else you decide to focus on!
I will cherish the artwork I got from ya, and I will remember the nice things you did bring, you have a nice style and I know it will be appreciated by many, draw whatever your heart desire to make!

Best wishes to you, Ren!

I understand this feeling you have about everything, i recently had to take a break too. I hope you find happiness and excitement in life!

I am... Quite sorry to see such a dear friend leave the community. Especially as a good of a friend like you, but I understand more so than anything else as I have had my own thoughts for quite some time about leaving the Fandom. But have since decided I can't leave the friends I have made behind, so this I say goodbye Ren! I hope you have a wonderful future and that you find that right place where you want to be! <3

Do you know if this character is for sale? https://www.furaffinity.net/view/25125967/

When you can make income elsewhere on clean work, that's a great route to go.
Not much point in continuing the commission grind when you are fortunate enough have that opportunity.

Hey no worries man, you do what you gotta do to make yourself happy. As always if you ever wanna talk my DMs and notes are open. Take care no matter what you do!

I've loved your work and It's sad to see you go but I understand that it's a necessary and difficult step forward in a search for something better. Wish you the best and please let us know where we can follow your future work.

Oh man, your art is sublime, please don’t delete your gallery.

I know how you feel though, I’ve struggled with that same feeling many, many years ago. I was a Sonic fanartist, and a furry adult artist over a decade ago. Also being a musician amongst other things, I had no way of reconciling aspects of myself and the porn I drew.
So I decided I had to distance myself from the fandom for similar reasons.

I hope one day you can feel proud of your work again, pornographic or not. Sometimes you need to be at a good place in life, maybe a bit older too, before that feeling of shame and pridelessness goes away.
One day you’ll look back fondly as you remember the good parts of this time, without the emotional turmoil you have now.
I’ve accepted myself, and surrounded myself with people who accept me as well. My friends know I draw furry, and also that I’m a musician and stuff.

Godspeed!

:,3 awe, i never got art of my deer from you. Ill try to catch you when you do that rare furry thing. I hope things go well for you from here on out and thanks for all the beautiful work you provided and insight youve shared.

Best of luck wherever your travels take you, truly.

I hope you keep in touch bud, otherwise gonna miss ya.

I come back to your page sometimes to think. Maybe it's weird of me. I know you're not here anymore and we really only just started to get to know each other on a more personal level shortly before you left. But the things you experienced before your departure, and the things that are happening now are so suffocating. I don't know what it is I'm still clinging to here, be it in this place or online in general. Perhaps a fear of missing out, but it's accompanied so strongly with the fear of being ostracized for any number of reasons...

Maybe I've read this final journal so many times my head is just spinning with the desperate urge to flee or to find the purpose to stay. I suppose I've also sort of lost my purpose, but moreso I feel like I've lost my humanity. Had it stripped in an effort to fit the mold that acts like armor or more like some kind of ill-fitting shirt that scratches and squeezes, but you wear it anyway just in hopes of not drawing too much attention or the choking back of life experiences condemned by this place. Whatever this place is be it Twitter or FA, or any other platform... All I know is that I feel like the me underneath the surface would sooner be thrown to wolves than given the opportunity to be listened to or understood. Where my art once served a purpose of defying the expectations placed on me by people who held me back now I fear the actions of people I don't even know, people who hide behind avatars and mask their shortcomings with ideals and mantras that are praised while other voices are drowned out.

Reductive. That word really couldn't be more true. I rarely come across people these days, only what feel like cutouts or silhouettes that look like people, but they all say the same thing. When I do encounter people, they are exhausted, irritated, angered, or scared by the communities they once found a place in. Time moves forward, things change, but I never predicted the destruction of the self. The individual. The nuance. And I don't know maybe I sound like a half-baked philosopher expressing my dissatisfaction with the world to a ghost. I always hope you've found peace and a calling that has brought you fulfillment. Tho I may never speak to you again. And I guess it's my time to decide for myself what path is best for me, because like you I feel drained and stripped of all passion, and feel surrounded by cutouts whose voices that echo the loudest become almost a dogma that I just can't ascribe to. And perhaps I'm thinking too deeply with this, but it certainly feels like killing a part of myself if I leave. The thought of leaving is terrifying on its own. But when fear is all I feel I might as well dive in head first and find out what happens right?

I hope you are well and have found happiness in your life Ren.
Still thinking about you,
-Sio

Will always wish I had a chance to know you or commission you or anything. Heavens. Doubt yo look here anymore, but please know you'll always be in my heart future Ren!
