Well since Christmas is nearly a week away, I guess I can open up to any of you if you want any Christmas-related art requests/trades, feel free to ask away if you are interested.

Merry Christmas, everyfur!

I don't do journals often, but this devastated me just now.

In my recent shout,  EeveEvolution was my greatest asset to making art. On November 27, she was the reason why I love making art, she even faved a few of my artworks I recently did on Colors! 3D for the Nintendo 3DS. It made me wanna continue making art, and she even had somethings in common: we both LOVE furry art, Pokémon, and sexually explicit nature that it doesn't bother us to even talk about the subject. Unfortunately, she has been recently been active for 3 days, and boy, she just left, took down the Cici the Glaceon, which I just found out this afternoon that my other friend,  Intergalactic-Celestia drew that very pic. Now, I'm depressed and don't feel like making art the moment because they argued online and  EeveEvolution leaves via a shout on my page. I was shocked to hear her leaving because we were in the middle of an art trade, and now, I really lost it now. Well, I just lost a great friend who I had SO much in common just left Fur Affinity for good. Overall, I'm sad. :'(

Well, I am a furry artist for nearly 7 years now.

It all started immediately near the end of middle school as an 8th grader in Summer 2005. So what happened was this, my teacher, Ms Hallowell, started to see my interest in anthropomorphic animals after seeing a badly crude drawing of her as a giraffe. She told me that there was a show that had that on Cartoon Network, which was of course was Camp Lazlo on July 8, 2005 ran until March 27, 2008. She thought it would be great to watch something I loved, and it was interesting to see an animated shows that had no single human at all, like when Joe Murray also created Rocko's Modern Life, but I was only 2 years old when it came, I had no idea what species of creatures they were, I barely had the knowledge to watch or even pay attention to the show at the time.

Ok, fast forward to my 14-year-old self in high school. I was beginning to start my knowldege of the entire animal kingdom, when everyone I knew from the school was REALLY into the furry fandom, and I wondered, what the whole purpose was, and the teachers told me that it's about seeing art with the anthropomorphic animals in perspective. This was the good life for awhile, I took a cartooning class, which wasn't your typical art class because my teacher had problems with students drawing instead of working on their usual assignments, so he created a class where doodling and creating was the whole norm of it all. I drew a bunch of cartoon art in early 2006, and my teacher was shocked on my devotion to creating cartoons. However, this moment of high school was short-lived. I got bullied and teased a lot for making furry art because it's not natural, I even got into feuds with my own mother about it since we were Christian, and creating anthropomorphic furry art was a sin, but used a counterexample to defy her theological theory that it does NOT harm ourselves in any way.

Now onto the 10th grade. Since cartooning wasn't available at the time, I took my next favorite class, zoology. I was being ridiculed for basically making fun of real-life animals and real-life people. I was scolded heavily because my art made a mockery to the class and assignments. This happened yet again in the following year where I took art of a notch of maturity as a 16-year old, and this shocked the entire school because of the explicit nature in my art, which was anthropomorphic animals engaging in sexual intercourse. My 11th grade visual arts teacher and my mother defended me for my explicit art. They promised me that I can NO longer show this type of art in public anymore. That devastated me because I can only make adult art at home, without anyone seeing it. I haven't been brutally critiqued on my art because it was ugly, nasty and horrible in every way. That nearly almost made me quit art altogether.

Now another year as a senior, still depressed from what happened recently, I was reluctant to make art, until my 12th grade teacher came to me to teach me about the differences between general, mature, and adult art, to see what makes certain art content has certain demographic limitations on who could see it, and who couldn't. That was up to the artist. Near the end of graduation, I created my first duo characters in my cartooning 2 class, Brandon & Brandy the Ultimate, which will be later used for my series, Ultimate Zoomorphic Adventures! During that time since both Camp Lazlo & My Gym Partner's a Monkey, (another furry show I got into) were on hiatus, and creating furry art was my only means of keeping me busy with art. After I graduated from high school, I had downloaded Art Academy on my Nintendo DSi, and I started becoming an autodidact with art, because the system was teaching me to create works of art.

Nearly 3 years - Present Day, I have been through a hell lot of crap. I've been hacked recently, downloaded Colors! 3D, Art Academy: Lessons for Everyone!, and am a member on the Colors! Gallery, Fur Affinity, and Facebook. Also, I've had a few influences on art in general:
Erin Valencia, aka  intergalactic-Celestia, Jay Naylor, aka  Fisk, Jared Hodges, aka  quasimanga, Michele Light, aka  Michele_Light and Lindsay Cibos aka  LCibos from the Draw More Furries from the book I got as a Christmas Gift.

So that's pretty much my furry art life.

I think might be a great time to take art trades/requests.

Comment if interested.
