I haven't logged on in over 4 years, and nuked everything in my messages between now and then because there were thousands of things, but anyways I'm still alive, made it out the other side of the pandemic, hopefully will survive my country being destroyed too!

We shall see.

Just an update to let everyone know I'm not dead, and I'm working on a comic, titled GADZOOKS!

I'll have another update when it is ready to read!

I gotta go through all my social media pages and update things because I quit tumblr a while ago and some of these links I have on my profile are out-of-date. Oopsies.

Anyways, got more art coming soon. Commissions and stuff will be posted soon!

I can't wait for March, it's supposed to be the month where all the collector's stuff gets shipped to me. Hopefully. Assuming no one destroys the packages or steals them or whatever else, we live in a shitty world and those kinds of things happen.

I'm really excited for the Ace Combat art book that I bought (since that's one of my favorite game franchises of all time), then a couple of Jak and Daxter things which also include art books, and I'm just a sucker for art books, I love them. I collect all the ones that I can from my favorite movies/shows/games, and I'm really really psyched for them because I only own maybe 4 art books right now.

I'm gonna put them all on my coffee table because they look really nice and I want people to know my interests. :v

I stan Jak and Daxter so hard that I might just decide to make my fursona an ottsel. I think I did that once when I was like 13 and just forgot about it, I think that would actually be a sona I could take some pride in if I gave it a go.

Ottsels rise up :V

I think one of my favorite ideas in the Animorphs book series was the idea of "estreen", which was an Andalite term for someone who was very artistic or skilled at morphing to the point of making it fascinating and pleasant to look at, instead of purely functional and horrifically grotesque. I think it's neat that the Andalites developed the morphing technology for military espionage and foreign relations, but also used it for art and professional dancing and entertainment in the civilian areas of life.

I've seen a lot of really pretty artwork featuring transformation on this website that isn't mind-numbingly creepy and reminds me of the concept of estreens, it's just a nice idea to think about. I like transformation art because it makes me think about anatomy and how similar life forms are to each other, and it fascinates me to see a good breakdown and comparison of species. I also really like the psychological horror aspect that it has, in the same way people seem to like watching scary movies, I guess.

It could almost be schadenfreude for me, except that I like the really pretty and flowing transformations as well, the ones that aren't jarring examples of extreme body horror. I don't think I have many characters that could be considered estreens when it comes to shapeshifting, they're all either clumsy or unskilled at it, and the ones that are adept don't have particularly pleasant-to-look-at forms to begin with.

What about you guys? Any estreens amongst your original characters? Or any characters from any other series that you might admire for being like an estreen?

Trying to find some good inspiration for some transformation-centric commissions I'm doing right now.
Ya'll feel free to link me to some of your favorite works of transformation artwork here in the comments, I don't care how lewd, I'll look at it. And yes, you can plug your own art and I'll go take a look at it.

I hope ya'll are having a good holiday season. Did anyone do anything fun or exciting, have any holiday parties or get any cool gifts? Any plans for 2018 that you hope to accomplish?

You may notice that I draw both cutesy kawaii things and horrifying nightmarish monsters. I'm really indecisive because I like both equally.

Sorry about the lack of consistency. I love you guys for putting up with me. 8']

Also related/unrelated to that, fuckboys and cyborgs are coming soon. If you're into that.

So I'm gonna use this journal to post a list of some of my favorite things and characters and stuff, so maybe you'll see something here you have in common with me! Chances are I missed a few things too. You're welcome to ask me if I like something too, I might end up adding it to the list if I consider it one of my fandoms. I put a * next to things that are my extra super duper faves and things I'd actually consider myself a huge fan of.
