It's been a hot minute! Obligatory art dump incoming!
Posted a year agoI honestly did not think 2 years would go by so fast but clearly I was wrong! Welp the most I can do now is dump what I've made in the last 2 years! There's not as much as my last dump like this but there's still some merit because I've been practising religiously when I'm in an art mood and I feel that I'm multiple steps ahead of where I was, but that's for you to decide! Anyway I hope the wait was worth it!
Cheers,
Wolfy ^w^

Posted 2 years agoOkay, so I did not mean to practically abandon this account completely (as shown from me saying I didn't want to abandon the account and making a promise I forgot to keep)
I need to get better at this shit and that starts with me forcing my schedule back on me again. I know I said I wouldn't, but I'm afraid I will end up making this a cycle if I don't. I've worked on a few miscellaneous pieces in the background but didn't bother to upload them for some reason that beats me, and I will.
I'm thinking of opening commissions for the first time but as I never have before any tips would help alot =3
It's still just a thought but worth it as I want to go freelance and this'll help me put that in my head.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. In the coming hours and days I'll try to get the stuff I've made up and posted. Happy 2023!

About me being sick and my inktober posts
Posted 3 years agoI'm more sick than I was yesterday >w<
Yeah I've had the flu for a couple days and it got really bad yesterday and worse today, and I don't think I can do it today because it's really hard for me to even be awake right now let alone focus on a drawing.
I can promise you I'll do it, I'm not just gonna push it aside and never do it, but I'll end up doing it alongside tomorrow's post if I'm better by then, if not I'll backlog the pieces to do alongside the other prompts for however many days I am behind.
Hopefully next October I can give y'all one post a day every day of October for inktober 2023 (though after I finish inktober 2022 I do plan on posting more now that I know I'm capable ^w^)
I'm still doing every prompt for inktober but not every post will be every day like I would've liked. (at least for the time I'm sick)
I won't kill this account for months at a time again I promise.

Art dump coming!
Posted 3 years agoI've racked up piece upon piece that I've been meaning to post since 2019 back before I made this account!
Normally i post digital art here, but alot of the pieces I'm posting have never been digitized, and since i don't want to undermine the originals since alot of these were from when I started drawing, I'm going to post the ones which were never taken digital in my scraps (along with the NSFW ones)
The traditional drawings are edited to fix rips, tears, stains, and other damage that has occurred over time that was never intended to be there (granted my art is in pretty good shape cause I have always tried to keep my art in good shape) but the drawings themselves have been untouched.
Alot of pieces take up only small portions of the paper so those will be cropped.
Some pieces will be your first time seeing some of my fursonas, cause though they're fleshed out in my head, I never posted any of them.
Art pieces that have been digitized that I never posted unless far from finished or really old will be in my main gallery and will be tagged with the word archive.
I've also made a bit of music in the last 3 years and all that will be in my main gallery.
Hope you enjoy!

On my mental state post from September of 2021...
Posted 4 years agoHello!
I had a really bad depression streak back in August and September; I believed to be because of my ADHD medication.
Because whenever I was on it I had a really bad depression streaks and, I would wake up to not being able to do anything.
I'd come up with ideas in my head of what to do and I would keep scrapping them over and over and over.
And so I decided...
well first of all I found out I found this out when I realized that over the summer I never had any depression streaks; I only had them after the summer ended.
And beyond that, whenever I wasn't taking my medication on weekends or when I was visiting somewhere and I forgot my medication; Or anytime when I was just not taking them for an extended period of time, I was not depressed because I wasn't taking the medication.
I don't recommend this for everyone, but if your medication is causing you severe depression like it was in my case I'd say to talk to your therapist or whoever about getting them switched.
I can't trust that will work for everyone, but this is what it worked for me.
Anyway, I went off them without my doctor knowing, [my doctor still doesn't know because I haven't went to my doctor yet.] but I felt much better, the only problem was that I couldn't do art.
I couldn't do art at all because I never had the motivation, but I never had the depression that I did when on my meds.
I'm finally getting back to the state where I can actually do art and post it
The thing is, I've been doing art off and on throughout the time that I've been absent; It's just now I decided to actually post it again.
I may not post all the time, [it never really has been] but I it's gonna be breaks in between posts.
I will try to get as much of the art I did then up and as much as I can moving on continually.
Anyway I just thought you guys may want to know because I've been absent often on for quite a long time, and I'm glad to be back to see the community and everything.
And I had a big boost on new year's eve. Because I started watching a lot of the furry YouTubers I enjoyed when I posted weekly. [I stopped watching them because back then the Furry Fandom was linked with my art hobby and my depression was taking from that]
I felt that watching them again was the best jump to get back into my art as well
I got back into them because I saw one of the channels I was subscribed to was streaming for new years and I watched them throughout from 11 at night to around 2 or so in the morning.
That was last night.
And I don't know. Something about that; It just kind of brought that final spark back in me that I didn't think I'd have again. And I'm glad it did.
And well I hope to see you guys again soon with more posts and stuff like that.
Yeah, thank you all.
No matter how many people support me I'm just glad there's some people who like my work no matter how small and niche it is.
I'm glad to see you all, and happy new year!
[As a last note just so you know; this was a transcript, but I scrapped the whole audio recording thing so yeah...
I will do a voice reveal on here though it will be some time. If you really want to hear it and see me just go to my tiktok lol.]

About my account
Posted 4 years agoHello! In case anyone wonders about my absences. Don't worry, I haven't quit or died, I just have poor time management skills and keep forgetting that I have accounts I post on.
I make a ton of art, I just never post it because of a combination of perfectionism and getting easily distracted. I will binge youtube or do art for days, but never post any of it.
I'm trying to break this habit, but for now, just know that I will post, I'm just very bad at keeping it in check.

Hewwo, I'm back! ^w^ (Hopefully)
Posted 4 years agoI've been doing alot of art, music, etc in my free time behind the scenes, but never posted any of it as I was posting to instagram, watching YouTube, and making the work without even thinking of posting it, (I don't know why lol) as well as having the mindset that I can continually improve my art to make it worthy of posting, which which makes me work off and on on a single or multiple pieces for months on end that could have been posted much earlier. But I finally decided to try and overcome my never ending cycle of perfectionism and post something.
I don't know how long this will last, but I'll be finding out along with you.
I've got another NSFW post in the works, and many SFW ones as well, idk when I'll post them, but for now, thanks for sticking around!
Dex (Devin) LaPrade,
Zack

Taking a hiatus...
Posted 5 years agoI haven't posted much as of the last few months as of when I'm writing this, but I'm not dead, or gone forever. I plan to post again, though I don't know when. It may be as early as one to a few months, or up to over a year. Currently, I'm developing some of my different skills behind the scenes, whilst also attending college. As such, I am using the rest of my free time to relax and just do whatever, as again, I'm a bit creatively drained. Hopefully, as soon as I regain my creative flow, I'll continue posting and making my art, music, stories, and more for you to enjoy. As for now, I hope you'll stick with me as I take awhile to regain my ability.
As always,
Devin LaPrade [Dex]

Working on something big
Posted 5 years agoI plan on posting it here once it's in a place where I feel satisfied with it, but for now, I may not be quite as active whilst i work on it. Sorry in advance for my lack of posting.

Hewwo! I posted!
Posted 5 years agoI just released 4 of my pieces from my Disney Vault of art. I'ma try to post stuff before I have a mountain of work that I want to show off. Yes there is more coming, and yes I will try to post more soon. Thanks for waiting!
I have ideas again
Posted 5 years agoFor some reason, I can't come up with much during the summer months as of art. I did make stuff however, and I am planning on dumping it here. You have alreaxy seen some of the dump as my last few posts are part of it. I will most likely release the rest over time. I hope you enjoy!
Taking a break
Posted 5 years agoI genuinely forgot about my weekly posting schedule, I ended up getting sidetracked after my 21st and never started any piece. I would have most likely skipped that week anyway seeing as I was hit with a major art block and couldn't come up with any ideas for the life of me. I plan to return to posting soon though it may be a bit slower as the more art I pump out, the less ideas i can come up with. And in that case, I may slow down to posting monthly as I would have much more time for inspiration and coming up with ideas. Thank you for your patience, as it helps me ease my mind.
Yeah, again I'm out of ideas.
Posted 5 years agoI'll try again next week, but I don't currently have any ideas. My brain is completely giving up on me getting any art or storywriting done at the moment. Thanks for hanging in there. >w<
日本語で:
ええ、わかりません。
また来ます、他に何を作ればいいのか分かりません。私の脳は私が芸術を作り、物語を書くのを助けることができません。お待たせしました。 >w<

A bit taken aback by the support...
Posted 5 years agoI was a bit shy to post what I did on Wednesday, I mean, I always thought that I'd take most of my kinks and such to the grave, but I was NOT expecting my kinkwriting, of all my posts, to become my best performing, let alone within the week it was posted! I guess I was a bit cautious when posting, but seeing how well it performed, I might just consider making more when I get the inspiration or idea. Again, For people who want the safe for work stuff i normally post, don't worry, I will still be primarily be posting that. And when I do any mature posts, I will also try my best to submit a more safe for work post alongside it (though it depends on my creativity) as well. Anyways, thanks for all the positivity! I'll try my best to keep you guys happy. ^w^
Love you guys,

Bit of an art block
Posted 5 years agoI'm really running out of things to create here. >w< I'll try to post something next week. I'm wide open to suggestions if you guys have anything art or music related that you'd like to see. Thanks for waiting. =3
Forgot to post for the new year
Posted 6 years ago2020 is among us and I forgot to post on New Years. Same on twitter. I had a post ready and forgot to hit send. At least I now have more time to get it done seeing that I missed my deadline. It should come out today or tomorrow.
What a day!
Posted 6 years agoNot even 30 minutes after i create my account i get added on discord, dragged into a situation between 2 friends, and acting as a negotiator between the two. It wasn't too big of a deal because I've had to deal with drunk friends trying to murder each other but still. luckily that's over with and i can go on as normal.
