Lost media, found acceptance
Posted 7 months agoIf you create anything, digitally or not, it is pretty much inevitable that something will be lost - either by complete accident out of your control, or by an act of deliberate malice from yourself or someone else. Maybe you delete something because you think it's old, cringe, bad, or whatever else; or maybe you delete it because there's people involved that you do not want in your life anymore.
Either way, there will be gaps in the folder, holes in the puzzle, something is missing with no way to recover it.
I am making this journal to give some further context to my gallery - I don't have all the art I have made over the past years, and I'm not on a quest to find all of it either. Whilst most of my larger commissions I have managed to keep track of, I've lost a few things over the years, and I have also deliberately destroyed a few pieces, for reasons I will not specify. And I am fine with this state of affairs - at some point, you have to accept that you aren't in control of everything; it sure beats worrying over self-defined problems that cannot be resolved.
Two of the commissions which I have completely lost were continuations of the Bayeux Tapestry series that I was going to post soon (if I still had them). The reason for their disappearance is fully known to me, and it is as mundane as it was preventable - I had made them on a different computer, which was a very bad and barely working clunker that could run FireAlpaca and not much else. It was wiped a few years back, and I didn't care to transfer the pieces anywhere else; after all, they were posted on twitter - surely nothing would happen to them there!
Anyway, they're gone - I do recall roughly what they were, as I have notes of who they were for - one for a Laszy Cat (don't remember what was in it though, some kinda gray cat) and one for a Shelby with an orange feline archer. Both of these people seem to have disappeared off the face of the web, at least in their furry form.
I will likely find out that I have lost a few other artworks, but I'm leaving myself that surprise for a later date. I think the lost media craze, while fun, should also teach people to accept that things will sometimes just stay missing, and it's okay to let go, or at least take a break.
Enjoy your time, and remember to keep memories.

Returning to art
Posted 8 months agoHello, probably only a small group of you will remember me from twitter. I never had a large following, but I had a following, so I will not be surprised some of you find me again on here. This is a little (re)introduction for everyone, with a little context on what and why I make art, and what kind of art you might expect from me.
As far as I remember, I was always drawing. I can point to some different eras of how, why, where, but it's mostly irrelevant to you all. I found the furry fandom in the mid 2010's, and while it had a major influence on me as a person over the years, I don't really have a strong connection with it anymore. It's weird, it's personal, it's multi-faceted, and it's too convoluted to be worth explaining to strangers. But I still like drawing furries.
You can view my first submission to learn how I started creating in my style in 2020, which combined my interests in furries, history and culture, with my passion for clean, geometric and detailed art. I stopped creating art as regularly sometime in mid-late 2023, for two reasons: I got a job (art wasn't my dream source of income and more of a hobby that sometimes allowed me to get some fun money on the side), which alongside university studies and my dozen other hobbies has taken most of the time I would normally spend drawing. I also got permabanned from twitter at that time, which pretty much obliterated my social reach towards people who might wanna see my art.
I made a furaffinity account with the goal of archiving some of my work. I never got around to uploading anything though (mostly cause I'm lazy), but I guess, after two years of having this page, and almost five years of drawing in this style, I might as well get to it. Expect me to slowly post my backlog of various commissions over the following weeks; I will try to keep them in some sort of chronological order.
I want to make more art again in the near future - maybe even commissions again - but it won't be a common occurence.
