Welp... It's been a "hot minute" (Update)
5 years ago
So it's been a bit over a year since the last time I posted any art and it's also been about 10 months since my last journal. I do keep a tab open on my browser for FA basically at all times, so it's not like I don't pay attention to the site at all, but I'm not too active on it, especially as of late.
I'm gonna be really honest, due to how a lot of my more "recent" experiences with my local furry community have been... pretty bad, it's sorta turned me off from the whole community. So I haven't really been in the mood to do things like be super active in the community like I was before, get art, etc. The friends that I actually have made in the local community are amazing, but it IS a rather small amount of people. About maybe half of my personal Telegram group chat is local friends with the other half being non-local and given that my Telegram chat has a bit under 20 people in it, says a lot about that imo. (I put quotes on recent, since it's really been about a year-ish or so now since I've slowly been feeling this way more and more towards my local furry community)
The current situation in the world also doesn't help. What was, at bare minimum, keeping me still decently connected with the community was still occasionally hanging out with my local friends that I do have in person. While for awhile we were doing an online hang out thing on Saturday's and Sunday's over the past few months, the last couple of times we were supposed to do them... I just really have not in the mood for it so I didn't join in on them. For the past few weeks I've really just been in a fairly antisocial mood and I only really respond when someone DM's me. Even then, depending on how I'm feeling at that exact moment, I may still take a bit to respond. I'm not really... "depressed" I don't think, I just kinda don't really know what to do anymore? Hard to describe it, I just feel "off" I guess. I do plan on being more active sooner than later, but whether that's the next week or the week after, etc, I don't really know.
As for art, I kinda do on occasion want to get a commission, but like... if there's no artists I'm interested in who are open by the time I finally feel like getting art again, thennn I just don't get any, which has happened multiple times now. I do actually have quite a lot of pieces, at least sketches that my girlfriend has drawn for me over the past year, buttt I keep forgetting to save them on my computer and upload them to here. So I'd have to essentially ask her to dig through all the art she's done for me and send me all of it, which I probably will ask of her sooner than later. You guys haven't even seen any art of the new character I own. Granted, I don't have a ton of it, but there's an ok amount of it.
Anyways, I think that's mostly it for now. If anyone's curious, as for what I've been doing as of late, it's mostly just been playing video games, watching stuff on YouTube or finally trying to catch up with a bunch of anime that I've missed out on over the years. If you took the time to read all of this and are actually still paying attention to this account, then I appreciate it, thanks.
