The New Sot Times - What was up with that Pokesona?
4 years ago
Hey! So for a year, I decided to do a Pokemon evolution chain as my fursona for a bit. Why did I do that? Some people were curious so I thought I might as well explain myself in detail.
I wanted to make a new fursona of sorts as a reminder of some new years resolutions. An evolution chain felt like a perfect way to express building myself up throughout the year. My original plan was that I could only evolve my 'sona as I finished some deliberate goals throughout the year. If I didn't do them, I couldn't evolve! It wasn't a New Years Resolution, it was a New Years Evolution.
I also wanted to start changing my subject matter in my art, and I wanted to show that in a more subtle fashion by turning my main fursona into something else. I'm gonna say something pretty obvious in our present time, but if you're reading this in the far future you may not be aware that 2020 was a year where things didn't go as planned. My life was no exception either. Nevertheless I decided to stick with the Pokemon look. By the time it was October I was already starting to think about where my art would be going next once more.
So, there you have it.
What now?
Well, I wanted to use this journal to explain all that, but also make some deliberate statements about intentions behind my work. This is some simple stuff that will be explained in more subtle ways for the future, but I will also explain this when asked directly.
- Characters I have previously named "Sot"-- which are my white tiger and purple dragon character-- will be referred to by different names from now on.
- This Litten / Torracat / Incineroar character design will still be seen around. They're not going anywhere!
Thank you for reading! Have a great day out there.

God, goes to show how long 2020 felt- looking back my brain thought you'd been a pokemon for 3 years, each year evolving. But nope, its all been in 2020.
