Rambling about a slight dip in confidence/imposter syndro...
Posted a year ago[I'm typing all this out as I go along and I'm probably not gonna be coherent. Keep that in mind lol]
It's no secret that HarleyJoe's biggest fan is HarleyJoe. I think that's generally how being an artist is-- you kinda have to have a little bit of an ego to convince yourself you don't suck. But a healthy balance to being your own biggest fan is to also be your own biggest critic.
Now, forgive me when I say this but I'm going to say the most small-fur-victim-mentality I've said in a long while: I don't really rub elbows with artists. I mean sure I can talk to them, I have some form of reaching out to them online, but apart from that... I still think majority of my fellow artists just tolerate me. And that's me being nice, lol.
I don't really think a lot of artists think of me as /worth/ what I'm getting online. The amount of faves or follows I get, the watchers I have... hell I think I rubbed people the wrong way when I gave myself the CEO title as a joke. The fact that the public just kinda ran with it and no one stopped me might have been another reason why people don't like me.
I guess I just have this pre-dispositioned belief that everyone doesn't like me, so my gut reaction to that is to be my own best bodyguard and bestfriend. (ie: Nooo, you're amazing. Don't let them get you down @self) But truthfully, the only reason why I think I'm one of the best foot fetish artists out there is because I'm the one saying it. And there are days where I'm narcissistic enough to put my own word about myself above anyone else's.
... but on days where I wake up on the pessimistic side of the bed, I can think of a lot of reasons why a lot of artists don't like me. I'll try to list them down, and I KNOW I'm probably being ridiculous saying this. So keep in mind that these are all hallucinations in my head that might be true, but has no evidence to back it up.
- I draw feet. Not paws. In the furry fandom.
I feel like that alone has been a thing that kinda hindered me to go further, because god damn the amount of hate I see towards furry art but with human feet and not paws... and I'm sure there's a lot of us on the other side too where people hate paws but love feet on furries, but the fact that I can never really appeal to that side of the fandom... somedays it irks me. Not because of them, but because I just can't see myself getting behind it.
- ... is it just feet?
I don't do feet AND bondage. I don't do feet AND tickling. I don't do feet AND macro/micro. I hint at foot domination in some of my artworks but not all of it. I don't do hypno. I hint at sweaty feet and smelly feet, but I don't like doing stink lines. I don't do dirty feet because I don't know how to do it convincingly. I don't do the tandem of paw and maw. I portray some foot dom situations as a service, but I can't stand the thought of findom. I don't do anything OUTSIDE of feet. And its for that reason that I think so many people think that I'm overrated.
- The drawing is really simple, its just covered by flashy shading.
This is something I've always kinda cringed at, the fact that majority of my drawings are just... that? Nothing mind boggling. My style has been more and more refined over the years but nothing dynamic, nothing fun... its all smoke and mirrors. What I lack in exciting sketches, I make up for-- and I will defend this first bit: THE CLEANEST LINEART ON EARTH, smart color choices, and a fuckton of shading. And of course, highlighting just the feet.
- I must be really full of myself to price myself that high
Yup.I am.
Though sometimes I see other artists' prices... for example, an artist who is loads better than me at certain things, but are priced low... I look at my own work... and AGAIN, this isn't all the time. But sometimes I see my prices and think "is it really worth that much, or is it because of the watermark says 3rdharleyjoe"
I also wanna say I bare no ill-will to people who can't afford me. Art is a luxury, not a necessity.
- The meme and branding of: Who is Harley gonna draw next
There's always those people who are gonna argue that fanart isn't real art :B And at this point, apart from my possum, my characters, my love for feet-- that's all I am really. I used to have "A one-man furry foot art factory" and I think that has been me for the longest while. That's me on autopilot. Don't get me wrong, its nice to do fanart. Its nice to just be given a muse for drawing something. But I see a lot of artists struggling to get the numbers and they're either super focused on doing original art, or keeping to a certain genre of characters/setting/etc (like if some people draw cute characters, they only stick to cute characters, but you'll never see them draw monster-porn bait characters out of pure cohesion in themes with their galleries) Sometimes I feel guilty of that. Like, in terms of business, its a smart move that I branched out from Sonic characters, to anthros in other franchises, to other people's fursonas, to human characters, to monster-lover bait, etc... on the other hand, I feel like people see that as me capitalizing on my own foot style, and the ability to adapt to other characters... I dunno. Maybe cheapens it a little bit. That's just me though. That's just my brain thinking things it shouldn't be.
Back then, I used to think that if/when I get to the position I'm in now, I'd always shout out deserving artists who I think SHOULD get the attention they deserve. Nowadays, I think I do it out of guilt. A very generous way of coping with imposter syndrome, really.

RIP GUMROAD
Posted a year agoIt was recently announced that Gumroad will be banning NSFW content, so my account might disappear soon. While the rule hasn't been implemented yet, feel free to check out my gallery before the purge happens.

Posted a year agoTO MY COMMISSIONERS: (PLEASE READ)
Posted a year agoI'll be moving from our house to a condo in a couple of days so expect that there will be a period where I'm offline and setting everything up. Thank you for your patience. :) I will try to get back to work as soon as I can.
Side note: Remember when I used to make clickbait journal titles? That was fun. For me. Probably not for everyone else. Oops.Sudden change of plans
Posted a year agoI was supposed to stay at this house for an extra 3 months but because of certain emergencies outside of my control, all three of us have to move out.
I'll try my best to keep up with artworks, but I'll be slow on art for now. Please bare with me. Thank you for the patience.@harley_possum@mastodon.social

STREAMING ON PICZEL
Posted 2 years agoWill be offline for the next few days
Posted 2 years agoAs of right now, I'm still one commission short from finishing the queue, but I will be offline as soon as I get to the new house because evidently the internet service providers here are total crap. Took them forever to grant my request to relocate my router (as we speak, its still getting processed despite the fact that I originally sent a request 3 days ago) so when I get to the new house, I'll be accessing social media through a limited data plan. Will still try to get some offline work done though, but otherwise will be hard for me to get back to people. Contact me via Twitter @/Harley_Possum or send me a note here and I'll get back to you eventually :)
Thank you again for the patience, will keep everyone posted. :)My first time moving out
Posted 2 years agoIn a few days, I'll be moving out soon. So expect some lack of activity from me for the following days. :) Will still try to work on my last commission this batch though, and will try to get it done before the actual move.
In the mean time, if you hadn't already-- check out my Gumroad gallery! Any purchase will be greatly appreciated as we still try to settle in to the new place, and buy a few more things that are needed. If you bought something from me before, tell your friends if they're interested! Thanks a bunch!
i'm 27 now
Posted 2 years agomy back aches from carrying the foot fetish industry for a while nowFuture plans: Commissions // New house // Playing Possum
Posted 2 years ago
NEW HOUSE
I've been keeping this private for as long as I could because in my head, if I make an announcement about my own plans, then I'd be involving everyone in the outcome. Which makes it even more daunting when the plans fall apart. xD BUT, to get to the point:
I'm moving out for the first time, and will be living with two friends I have from highschool.
The house has already been paid for in advance and is currently going through renovations. We're currently looking at early June for moving in. I've been wanting to move out and away from the family for three years now, and if it weren't for that one fatal sneeze that caused the world to shut down, I would've done it already. But because that's the case, I was able to instead save up money to buy my first PC, and production has gone up.
COMMISSIONS
With that said, I'll be opening for commissions pretty soon. I have a good enough amount of money saved up on my end to last for the initial few months, and will still work on completing the ones I currently have now. As expected, prices WILL go up substantially when the time comes. And in order to not overload myself on work, I will most likely take 2 or 3 comms a month. Will still be doing Gumroad packs from time to time, and have YCH's on occasion.
I already saw the house we're moving to in a video, but will be seeing the house personally tomorrow. And I'm very very excited. :)
PLAYING POSSUM: THE GAME
The game has been put in the backburner, but I still DEFINITELY want to go through it. I currently hired someone to work the numbers for me, but as this person also has their own stuff to handle, both he and I are taking to it very slow. But it will still happen, and I need to find a way to earn some money during production just to pay them. :)
Poll for my next YCH (Twitter link below)
Posted 2 years agoI have two YCH ideas,
A.) Bidder x Colt/Brock feet at the same time
B.) 2 Bidders x Vince and Franklin feet (one each)
Which should I go for?
