Hope you are having a great one this year! And yep this is my 37th birthday, time please stop moving so fast already!

Yep I will be going to my first ever furry convention in the next couple of months, it is a bit nerve wracking but also very exciting to see the new faces and all sorts of things that I will be able to do there!

Is anyone else going? Maybe we can meet up and do stuff.

So I have been lost from this place and besides the odd favorite might seem like I am gone for good.

There are quite a few things that I want to do and show but I guess I should mention things one at a time.

So I am still drawing and doing pictures, still mostly sketches and still mostly to myself. I know that I shouldn't care about the numbers game but when that number is a 0 it kinda does bring into mind if I should bother because I don't even get any sort of feedback at all; and it doesn't help that uploading things can be a bit involved and while there are places to help but I don't really feel things clicking. This is just an excuse as to why I tend to keep to myself and would rather post on discord in the odd server cause at least there I would get a couple of people reacting at least. Maybe things have changed now but we will see.

As for other projects I have been doing some Live2D models for the purpose of making Vtubing models and even have some under my belt, I should at least upload some of these so it doesn't look like I am blowing smoke into the collective asses of anyone looking here. I have a lot of plans that I want to do still and I hope I am able to handle it.

Another thing is that I am on new psychiatric medication that has helped with my anxiety and ADD now, hopefully things will be more stable as well although it also has to do with drinking more caffeine now, more into those caffeine infused juices than coffee.

Well I guess I should ask around if anyone wants to have a sketch done for them if only to make it seem like reading this was worth it, heh.

Yep, I have now tasted the forbidden fruits of AI art and came out the other side corrupted... maybe... probably?

I think that AI art could be a good too for artists to use, it certainly has opened the discussion on certain aspects (or opened the floodgates for the pitchforks and torches to flood in). I don't even know if outing myself as someone who uses AI art will have me sent to the FA gulags to never see the light of day again (not that I really had much presence here to begin with, I really feel invisible to the furry public eye).

Well anyway, I am here and hope everyone is doing well.

So I finally got a Twitter to post my art, I know that Twitter is the personification of despair and anguish but I will keep to my golden rule of only making it about the porn and smut. No politics, no religion, no hot takes about the latest Smash reveal, just big Pokemon butts. Hopefully I will get more people to look at my stuff. Please follow me here https://twitter.com/chronocelebi1, I would appreciate it!

Also I do want to ask about Discord, do many artists just get a Discord server for their own art? I always felt that it was just so clunky to have so many places where potential conversations could happen. I wonder if I could also have a Discord to just post my art but I might just go to the Discords that I already frequent and post my art there (also a reason why I have Twitter so I can gain retention on my art posts in Discord)

I kinda been mulling this over quite a bit and it feels like I am too late to kinda get in on the Twitter thing that several years ago everyone heralded as a great thing and even drew r34 of the blue bird and now it seems that it is the common opinion to decry it as more toxic than if we detonated nukes at the third layer of Hell.

I feel like I want to try my hand at the twitter thing just to see if I can get more feedback on my stuff, but I also had a bit of a moral stance against Twitter because I do believe that it is a cesspool even before it was cool to hate it (I am such a hipster rebel) but I also have to be honest that it is more laziness and apathy that prevented me from getting a Twitter than my moral stance.

I guess I just want to ask people if they get more views on Twitter than here if you keep up both places. I guess another thing with Twitter is that you can link it to Discord servers for more exposure than just posting the bare pics themselves; also as an aside do people have their own Discord servers solely for their art? I am technically in several discords for artists but I never just jump into any at will because I feel like the point of Discord is to speak, not just be an art gallery. I mean I do have my own Discord that I post my own art and even invite others to post but the point of that Discord was to set up my Pokemon game and there are only a dozen people total, I didn't make my art the centerpiece of the server.

So it is that time of the year, to say Merry Christmas to everyone and to announce my birthday as well, I am 33 right now!

So I do hope that everyone is having a good time.

Well I want to write a lot but to put a TLDR right now : How do I get more people to look at my smut? And do you feel that sometimes it is not worth it to draw for others that you'd like to draw?

I am sure if you notice that my upload is quite sporadic to say the least. I have been drawing quite a bit but when it comes to putting stuff here I kind of have little motivation to do so. This might sound like I am chastising people here but the thing is that most of my output is sketches that I like to do but those get barely any attention or looks (because it can be hard to look at) and also I would've been okay with a sketchdump if FA could somehow implement a multiupload then things might feel more laid back (what I am saying is that I miss pre-pornban Tumblr, I know that there are alternatives and I am there but it is hard to get used to them).

I do wish to have more feedback, not only to get the asspats and praise but also the critique and pointing out mistakes as well.

My main place is to go into Discord servers and randomly put pics in the respective art channels that they may have. One of the biggest things is that sometimes I will just idle in a server with nothing to do and not knowing how to participate or enter a conversation. I have left as many discord servers as I have stayed because I did nothing as soon as I entered, not even putting art. Again this is all my problem and I will have to deal with it. I kinda wonder if maybe I should make my own server but I feel that it will just be a barren wasteland and I also feel that having one more place to keep tabs be too much, I barely can keep up with the servers that I do have an investment in (To be honest I already have a Discord server but that is more to have a place to talk about my Pokemon TTRPG game that I am running).

I don't want to get a Twitter even though that seems to be the go to for furry art. More than twitter being a pain to navigate I just hate everything that Twitter represents, I can't stand the general vibe of the place and I really don't want to do anything with it on a personal level. You aren't a bad person at all if you use Twitter but I'd rather not.

There is Pillowfort that is the answer to Tumblr but I have barely done stuff there... maybe cause I barely know people there.

I think the biggest problem is that I barely participate myself (I also barely favorite art here as well, only tending to favorite pics that I have a personal stake) so maybe if I do more overall I will get more attention but I feel that I will barely get any attention even if I do things so I gravitate towards not.

So I don't know if this entire thing had a point in the end. I did upload some pics so I hope I don't look like I am not wanting to try but I just feel that it barely matters when I do. I guess I just have to push through the indifference, if nothing else to have a place to catalog everything.

-

Also something that I want to share is my feelings on drawing art for others. Sometimes I feel like I see some character or whatever and feel like I want to draw them on the spot and then show the owners of the character and have the Notice me Senpai part of my brain light up. But most of the time I just don't do it, partially because of laziness but sometimes I just feel that I won't get any recognition at all. Maybe it is selfish of me to ask for some feedback (not necessarily positive but some recognition of what you have done) but I have been burned before on people that wouldn't give me the time of day even if I did something for them. Granted the people that did notice that I did something for them outnumber those that do not but it still kinda ruins the momentum a bit when it is a roll of the dice and you feel like an asshole for prodding (I will say that there was a couple of times where I felt that I was being ridiculed for drawing some fanart for someone).


So later on I will make that list of characters that I have been threatening for a long while now, hope you are all having a good day.

So it has been a very long time since an update as to what I want to do, and I always feel that I want to say something yet I always put it off but I guess now is the time to try out saying what I am doing.

I am still drawing (wish I could do more) but I will say that it is very mostly sketches and this might sound a bit of chastising to anyone looking at this but since I barely get feedback or any sort of activity and since it can be cumbersome to try to upload these sketches here (I wish I could just mass upload ala Tumblr and Discord) so I kinda just not elect to show them at all. Maybe I could just eventually break through the indifference with enough pics? Post whatever sketch comes out that I like enough regardless if it even gets the slightest blip?

So something else that I am trying to work on is making games, I want to try to learn how to code to make games and I am actually hoping to take the steps needed to get there. I wish I could go about my idea but I feel it is more prudent to keep silent and try to at least get something that could be playable before I go running my mouth. It will involve flying creatures to say the least!

Also I kinda been taking some baby steps in animating but it is going quite slowly (kinda dropped it for a while but I should get back to it). Still hopefully I can try to get something decent to show.

So for other stuff lets art related. I am running a Pokemon PMD-ish style TTRPG and things seem to be going good so far. It helps that I have a veteran helping me with a bunch of stuff especially since I elected to go for a generic style system to try to make things work (Cypher) and there are still some kinks to work out even as we play. Maybe if you are interested in joining the Discord then you can ask me for the link although it is only used for the game itself and also posting of any Delphox pics that come around and rarely other sketches that I do as well.

And also I've been playing a lot of PSO2 as well, I know that there is some bigger, better version on the horizon (maybe) but I am having fun playing through as a scantly clad girl with massive hips (wish the boobs would be bigger, ah well). So if you want to play with me I would love it (I am currently on Ship 1 but I am gonna transfer to Ship 2 to join a friend over there).

And yeah I keep saying that I want to catalog all of my characters that I have (I feel like I have a couple dozen easy, most of them Pokemon but I do have some non Pokemon as much of a shock that might be to you!) but I keep putting it off, maybe I should just write a text with them all instead of having some big group picture like I have in my mind.

Anyway that is all, I think. Hope everyone is doing well.

I don't know why when I played ACNH all this time but I kinda am feeling like Isabelle is less of a character than before. I felt like in New Leaf she did much more and was a more prominent figure in the day to day that made her beloved to everyone (or at least to me). Like some people say that when she does her announcements she could also say which NPC is visiting the island as well so you don't miss out or just give her that little bit of spice rather than her saying how she awaits her magazine or watched the show or whatever... at least she drinks Scotch on the job so if you wanted your waifu with a bit of edge there you go.

Hell maybe this is just push back on ACNH cause I feel that there is less to do this time around than in previous games,there is less to look forward to and less to do. I guess I might be somewhat against the game since I decided to get the game later since I wanted Doom Eternal first but then apparently I started during Egg Day and that fucked up my progression when half the items that you get are useless eggs and made me really dislike the rabbit guy seriously especially since he is passive aggressive about this entire thing yet I was flooded in eggs so fucker what is it are you obsessive or uncaring? And I really fear any future events if they are as intrusive as the Egg one.

I guess the only thing that gets me going is that I got a couple of good waifus in my island, I really love Celia and Amelia. I even have a little thing where Celia is the good girl next door that likes to be friends... maybe with a bit of benefits while Amelia is a bit of a gold digging type and will totally put out as long as you got the cash. I also really wish owls weren't a forbidden type of villager because I would like some owl villagers, I really don't care for Blathers at all and Celeste is rarely around so I can't really form any sort of connection with her (there is that white owl that appears on the sign... hmmmm....).

I feel bad that I would rather play ACNH than a game that has actual game play like Stardew Valley and Rune Factory because they don't have bird waifus.

Anyway to summarize, ACNH is half a game that is only carried by how fuckable the cast is.

Do you have any bird waifus? Would like to hear any avians that you'd like to stick it in.

Christmas times rolls around and also I am a year older as well!

Funny thing is that before when I was a young one I was told I was so lucky that I would get double presents on Christmas but now everyone says that I was screwed because I only get one set while everyone gets two? Ah well even if it is true I am just happy to be here.

Anyway hope you are having a good one.

So today at around midnight I finally hit the not so often talked point of life where you hit a milestone of a billion years!

So yep Happy birthsecond to me! (is that how it works?)

Plot Twist: Pokemon SwSh ain't one of them.

I am honestly not excited that a new generation of Pokemon is coming. Whatever fire that I had for the Pokemon games has been drenched by the tidal wave that was SM and even way before the revelation that certain Pokemon will be segregated from the game.

Seriously Sun and Moon was such a bad game in my opinion, they seemed to double down on adding story to the game when they can't tell a good story (It also doesn't help that they didn't bother to animate your player's face properly during cut scenes and made our characters look bad), they seemed to arbitrarily change things for the worse (I can understand that maybe you wanted to replace Gyms with their own equivalent but a good thing about gyms was that we could tell how far we were along the story, you can't do that with the trails unless you just spoil yourself and you can't even use each individual type to gauge how far you are cause two types are not given to you in the story. Also they rebalanced healing items so that their cost to HP ratio is about equivalent yet you can feed your Pokemon two rainbow beans to give them a random chance to not die and shake off status effects and higher critical chances) and they basically lacked any good end game content (Fuck you Red and Blue for fighting me after I had gone through the bullshit that was the post game fights).

It is also very hard to be a fan of something when they seem to want to drop it hard and instead get hyped about something else. I really liked the concept of Mega Evolutions and they really drove hard during XY and ORAS how mega evos are so important and powerful and blahblah, now when SM comes out I am sure I heard the makers give a drawn out sigh as they were hoping you'd forget about the thing that they hyped you up so much before and instead focus on the big new shiny Z Moves that is so awesome and great and will make your dick bigger. So yeah I am sure that both of those things will either be dropped totally or will somehow be hidden in the post game while Dynamaxing is the new thing that will revolutionize everything and cure your syphilis. It is hard to feel excitement for any new mechanics when I am sure three years they will be desperate for you to forget macroing your Pokemon and just get excited for Pokemon fusions or Pokemon armors or Pokemon powering them up by fucking them or whatever new gimmick will centralize the new game and then three years after that they will want you to totally forget that and instead go to the new thing, repeat till end of world.

Also the new revealed Pokemon don't really excite me, sure I like the starters but everyone else I don't really care much. Nothing could make me as passionate as I felt when Salandit came out back in SM. And I really don't like the legendary wolves, they should've made the sword wolf have his sword be a part of his body instead of just holding an actual sword or give shield wolf an actual shield to hold instead of it being a part of his body.

I will buy it regardless because I am invested in the series and I am sure there are a couple of Pokemon that I will lewd up at least. The only thing that can get me to not buy the latest Pokemon game is if they became exclusive to the Epic Store.

So lets actually talk about games that I want.

Banjo Kazooie - Not a game but I am very very excited to play as the duo, this is what is giving me the most hype right now and I am really looking forward to see how they play. I will totally try to buy their Amiibo as soon as they become available for preorder, I regret not getting a Piranha Plant amiibo because I didn't know if I would like him and now he is my main.

Phantasy Star Online 2 - Well I guess the impossible is happening, I waited this for so long... actually I waited it for a couple of years after it released then I stopped caring. I did play the translated patch version but seeing the bunch of japanese text floating around still kinda threw me off. I am hoping that they don't start us off from the beginning in content.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - Looking forward to this one although it being for mobile is surprising and a bit worrying but I want to be optimistic.

Collection of Mana - Got it already, really liked playing Secret of Mana on my PSP (emulated) so I am looking forward to playing the trilogy once again

DOOM Eternal - Well I will totally get this one both for PC and Switch as soon as it is available. I wonder if this time around we will have a demonic message saying that to win the game we must kill Todd Howard and then after the fight Doom Slayer will say the only line that he will ever say "That's for West Virginia".

Gloomhaven - Yeah that isn't on anyone's radar but Gloomhaven is essentially the GTA V of board games and it is getting a video game makeover.

Animal Crossing - Well out till 2020 but I can't wait to sexually harass my furry neighbors again.

And that is all I can think of.

So just out of curiosity I do wonder what kind of servers do you participate in Discord? I kinda want to look for a server where we can geek out about Pokemon or showcase art or role play or things like that. So if you have any recommendations for Discord servers feel free.

So just as a heads up art wise, I still kinda am drawing but still in a bit of a slump. I kinda mostly just draw sketches that I just show to friends and that is it. I've kinda been wanting to ink and color more but I'll be honest that laziness has been getting in the way of that front. Right now I am feeling like I am in a block that I kinda wanna draw but I am unsure what but also because I wanna ink and color, feels self defeating.

Well I hope to upload some more art and still draw some more, still always open for ideas especially if they tickle my fancy of huge bits or cuties. Maybe I will still do some more YCHs down the line. Also wanna show off all the characters that I have.

And then I was born!

Merry Christmas!

Florence might not affect me (Instead we get a tropical storm sauntering below us) but I still hope that everyone that will be affected by it come out of it unscathed and with as little loss as possible.

I wonder if anyone who has been affected adversely by a hurricane now keeps a close watch on the National Hurricane Center and the discussions it brings.

I never thought I would say this but I remembered that today was that day so here it is. I even made a bastardized poutine cause I couldn't find cheese curds in time!

I wonder if in 24 days from now I will also be celebrating the Puerto Rican version of these big days but considering the political climate I am sure it is expected of me to rend my garments and weep bitterly for my "country" lost.

So I have been looking at inexpensive options to have a display to draw on and thinking on it a bit I wonder if anyone has ever tried using the iPad (Pro) and Pencil combination to draw. I know there is an app called the Duet which basically makes your iPad into a secondary monitor. Sp I just like to ask if anyone is doing said combo.

Gonna go to Florida for a week, see ya guys later.

I know that it has been more than half a year since I uploaded anything in here. Well things haven't changed much in the long run besides the huge storm that beat us up bloody.

I still am drawing sketches and that is what I mostly do. I should try to ink and color more pics but I keep feeling meh and just churn out sketches. If FA allowed multiple batch uploading then I probably would've tried to upload sketches since I can set it and forget it but I guess I should still show that I post my sketches here http://maplequill.tumblr.com/ if you wanna keep tabs on my work.

Also another thing just out of curiosity since I don't know how to search for these things but does a Discord server for Pokemon porn exist?

Please no fuck you storms, thank you.

Well it is Christmas time again and I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and that they have a safe and fulfilling holiday.

And if you know me it is also my birthday and I turn the big milestone of 30 so I am olds now!

Anyway I also want to add that I still am drawing but I know that I've neglected this spot for a long time. To be honest I don't have much of an excuse other than I haven't been feeling uploading what I had. Maybe I will upload some things that I've done soon.

Also as an aside since I now got a Discord (a while ago actually) I wonder what servers do people frequent.

So Maria happened and it was quite a monster of a storm. The island hasn't seen a storm this bad since 1928. This was a truly devastating storm.

But I am doing fine, I didn't suffer any injury or damages to my home beyond a few displaced roof shingles and my TV antenna is displaced from the hinge. My house did get flooded but it was because our drains were clogged so the water accumulated above us and it seeped through the cable outlets, fortunately we had a neighbor unclog the drains. But beyond some water damage nothing else happened that I think was that significant. A lot of non-palm trees were uprooted and fell although none on any houses (that was my biggest worry for my house that a palm tree would fall on my house). Everyone around me also is fine and well and my family I believe are all fine without any major damage or injury.

Of course the island itself is in a horrible shape and that was before any hurricane hit us. My biggest need is of electric power since I am here on generator power provided by the electric company, I was gonna wait till I had full power but I kinda want to know what has been going on. Also because of generator power I also only have water for half a day because the pumps are being run by generator and to save on fuel they shut down during the low use periods (also maybe CNN has reported that the water I have might be considered to come from a chemically unsafe source by the EPA supposedly).

But yeah a lot of people are in a very bad spot so I can't be complaining too much. But I do hope things get back to some semblance of normal because I know things won't be like before, for better or worse.

I would really like to hear from you and how have you been doing for the past several weeks and if maybe you have any questions.

Maria has none of the HOLYSHITSOSTRAWNK that Irma had but its current trajectory could mean that its impact might be more severe. Lets just hope we will be able to come out of this in one piece especially since we are still trying to recover.

It is funny that the media seems to be concerned over Jose than Maria although that is to be expected because Jose is doing donuts near their doorstep while Maria is still a bit ways.

Lets pray that things won't be so bad, it is all we can do.
