Gaming Streams!
Posted a year agoSo I am going to start to make a push to get back into streaming cause its a fun hobby. I am not sure if I will be able to keep a consistent schedule with it considering my Job, but it will give me a great excuse to play games that I have been meaning to play and hopefully have some fun times.
In the afternoons that I can stream, I'll be doing so at https://twitch.tv/CJMPinger and thanks to anyone who stops by.

Where I am in Life
Posted a year agoI might as well update whats been going on with me, though I will not be going into so much detail, this is more for me to put down as a sort of marker of where I am and perhaps where I'll be in the future.
Life up to now has been... mixed. I have met great friends I care about dearly as well as someone I love enough to want to spend my life with. I have a career, that is promising, which may be able to facilitate achieving some of my dreams and at the very least keep me from poverty. But at the same time I am not well. My physical health has plummeted with Nerve Pain among other issues popping up and refusing to release its hold on me. And my mental health proves to be my own worst enemy, preventing me from making the steps that I want to make to improve things or just beating down on me. And stress, so much stress.
But all I can do is move forward, despite all that.
For my future I genuinely want to work on my writing and actually produce something instead of staring at blank pages. I dunno when or how I will achieve that, But its something I want to do. A dream of mine is to get a book published, but that at the moment feels like a far off fantasy. Additionally I want to be healthy, pain be gone and problems managed. And lastly, I want to build a future with my boyfriend, make him feel loved and cherished.
I may make a followup Journal, I may not. Again, the text here is more for me to look at, but here's to another 25 years, I wonder what kind of person Ping will be then.

Art Stealing
Posted 5 years agoIt's been well over a year since I last made a journal and due to some recent events I guess I felt like it was time.
The subject that is most prevalent is art stealing. Recently, I found numerous artwork I had gotten from artists uploaded to YouTube, most of them lacking any credit towards the artists that put so much time and effort into the pieces, and most of them being pieces I had gotten from
Stickmanwww. With the instances I could find, I either contacted the uploader to get them removed or issued a take-down notice through YouTube. Perhaps I was overreacting to a problem or non-problem that I can not really fight against, but much of the artwork I get has some significance to me. Maybe I should feel flattered that people shared my interests, but I am pretty sure they were taking from the artists in question instead of me, since I am not exactly anything special. And even if they were just taking from me, they are regardless also taking from the artists who put so much hard work into the art and thus deserve to be credited and informed that their hard work is being distributed in a way that they didn't intend. Maybe it is dumb to say this, but please don't upload art without asking the artist or commissioner first, and if they want their stuff on a site like YouTube, they'd probably upload it themselves.
I guess the situation irked me, moreso that there were even a few that monetized off of the taken artwork, and some of the artists I have seen taken from I consider to be friends so even though I couldn't really do anything about their stuff being taken I still felt somewhat defensive and angry. Putting something like "The art is not mine" at the beginning of the video does not qualify as crediting nor permission.
Um, if anyone has any opinions I wouldn't mind hearing.... I apologize if this seems like a self righteous rant...
TLDR: Please don't take and upload artwork without people's permission. And in the case of my art, I will issue take-downs from now on.

Ask Me Anything!
Posted 7 years agoRandomly decided to do this, will keep this journal open as long as I am on Furaffinity. Feel free to ask me anything in here, and I will answer the questions as truthfully as I can and to the best of my ability or willingness.
Thanks for 100 Watchers
Posted 7 years agoThe title is explanatory. Thanks for 100 of you all deciding to Watch me. I am mostly getting the artwork for myself (vain I know), but it is really nice to know that there are a few out there who like what I've gotten as well!
Fursona Written Concept [OLD]
Posted 8 years agoFursona Concept:
An average sized anthropomorphic wolf with digitigrade legs. His fur would be a really dark brown, with the eyes being a similar shade of brown. When wearing clothing, he wears a black hoodie with dark gray arms and hood. On his lower body he wears any color boxers and blue jeans. His shoes are gray tenis shoes with white laces and white soles. He is of average physique and his assets are normal size, with the dick, which can be human like or canine like with a sheath, being 6 inches. Around his neck is a solid white line in his fur, almost like a collar. His mood is dependent on the moment but most of the time he has a neutral happy expression. I have a like for transformation so it would not be impossible for him to appear as/turn into something different, in which case the only thing garunteed to remain constant is the white line around the neck. Lastly, his getup and abilities can change depending on the scenario. Ex: In a fantasy setting his hoodie would fit looser and would be longer on his body like a robe and he would have summoning/conjuration abilities.
If anyone sees this and has feedback I'd like to hear it, and when I have the money I might try and commission an artist willing to draw a rep sheet for this.

Not Much [OLD]
Posted 9 years agoAnyone who views me for anyreason, don't expect much... I don't plan on posting much except for maybe something once in a blue moon or if I ever get back to trying to learn how to draw. I will try to be a member of the community however. Sorry if this wasted your time, and have a nice day.
Edit:
I wrote this at a time when all I did was watch people, I didn't expect to get a fursona or even be active enough in the community to really be called a member. If anyone sees this, the reason I edited it and not deleted was because it still was my thoughts at the time and allows me to look onto a time where I was a bit more introverted and did not know some of wonderful people I know now.
