Lame common letter-prior bird app is dead I have moved to BlueSky and I actually speak there, and post wip's and -interact-

Getting back into the habit of trying to throw my efforts back out into the public eye again

I check the boxes when it comes to best horns, worst attitude, and most in the way jawline

I don't make the rules

Kissy kissy or else

Yeah so that journal I put up like...idk a year ago saying I was gonna get better at posting stuff even if it was just to twitter. About that....
I've been working on stuff, comic stuff, 3D stuff, my sketchbook is full, my tablet screams for mercy because of all the stuff I've done and totally not just bullshitting
I just don't want to show it
Trust me bro

Will this be something besides a shitpost waste of time journal?

Chances are slim.

However, I have minor updates for anyone who isn't a bot or actually even remembers I exist in some way shape or form. Life up dates c: Everyone loves those!
So prime question no ones asking, besides myself because I need to give myself validation: Where uploads?

Short answer: I'm hoarding all my stuff, from commissions, to art I've done myself.

Medium answer: I don't have the patience to upload a bunch of stuff here because the process is kind of annoying at best and I don't spend as much time here besides a quick browse usually.

Long answer: Most of the stuff I have commissioned is nice, the artists did an amazing job and their work deserves praise and I am always looking for more talent to finance, I feel like by uploading I take away from them so I usually just have them shown in my favorites. As for my own art, well, 3d model wips seem to not peek anyones interest, or gain any traction with current followers or potential newcomers, traditional sketches just never do well, unless you're super well known with a bunch of simps who blow a load to you uploading a literal dot on a paper, and digital, I've had a pretty bad relationship with for a while in the form of sketches, I hate digital sketching. However, I have been doing rough 1 layer paints where I just do something rough and do rough rendering thats all sloppy which I've actually enjoyed, but don't find them good enough to upload (let alone fighting with the compression this site has).

So long story short, lack of interest (which isn't a surprise since I go months if not years without uploading here) and most of my interaction and following has mainly been on twitter.
Again I don't do art for money so it's just a hobby for me, but that doesn't mean I'm any less dedicated then someone who does this as a job, I just simply have to fit my hobby into my busy life.

Speaking of busy life.

Yes I am stupidly busy and usually have 0 creative energy most of the times let alone energy to do anything besides sleep and wait for my next call. I generally work 6 days a week on call 24 hours, and depending on the situation I can get anywhere from 5-ish hours between call ins, or a whole day and my hours are at minimum 10 hours, and max out at 16 so energy and motivation are constant struggles when it comes to art stuff. It's a pretty miserable life but moneys good, moneys all that matters right....? Right....?..... Someone say right.

On to what I've been working on.
So going forward I don't think I'll post 3D wips, I'll just show a finished project.
Currently I am working on 5 models (i wont count the variants as separate) with 1 currently on the back burner pending being abandoned.
I'll even list them off (not in any particular order of completion):
- Salt model -for myself obviously because I have the best horns
- Hesairr model(s) - Male and female along with other variants of the species (check out https://www.furaffinity.net/user/seateal/ to learn more about them!)
- Ragkhlar model- Very friend shaped ( check out https://www.furaffinity.net/user/ket-dawnatsunset/ to find out more about them and other fun creatures)
- Dragon model- Vague I know, but it's one of my adopts I got, again for myself
- Skin creature- These things, which I showed a wip like 8797 years ago, yes that is still my first model (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/39437897/ nsfw)
- And the other project I've shelved for now so no need to go into detail

As for the rough painting stuff I've been doing, still debating if it's worth uploading but at the end of the day I'll probably just default to putting it off indefinitely. For the most part I show like 2-3 people I talk with on telegram or discord and kinda leave it at that, it's more of a "heeeeey see I did a thing, I feel temporarily good about the thing I did" and then go back to getting slaved out at work.
Uhhh what else... social wise I've been about the same, reclusive, salty as all sin and giving everyone the side eye, while also glaring daggers and providing enough knife support as needed. Cut some ties, made some new ones, etc. I will always be the original stabber, the knife emote was made for me.

Personal life I do not and will not get into because it's my own business, so besides what I've shared speculate if you want, idk why you would.

I still got a few people that owe me art, but at this point I feel like even if they finally decide to pony up, the magics kinda gone (they gotta work on that stuff for the popular folks first and say fuck the que and you waiting patiently for 3 years!) But I just simply know not to give them my business in the future, simple as that and I hope you put the money to good use.

Think that covers about everything, if not I'm sure I'll update this in a timely manner of 2 years. My gallery continues to be a clusterfuck but that will never change, so guess thats it, I'm going to go to sleep.

I'll be uploading art that I've done and gotten..... maybe eventually

Congrats, you made yet another trip around the sun.
With all the bullshit and heartache and ups and downs, friends gained, friends lost, you made it.
For what it's worth, you're here, so lets do it again.

Yes.

Ok gallery has been a mess.
It is now clean and ready for me to upload things.
......ok but wtf do I upload?

So, sup I havent posted here in a long ass time, mostly because I dont feel like taking 300 years to try and upload stuff and thats also assuming I have anything worth showing.
My gallery is a mess and always has been, it's just random shit I threw up with no real rhyme or reason besides a 'life check'
Uploading here is tedious, I have a backlog that continues to grow and I have commissions I probably wont post just because I hate uploading here and thinking of titles.

You aint missin much though, I've been doing more 3d stuff which is boring, I've dipped back into digital a little bit since you apparently have to have a huge following in order for traditional to be given a chance (and also be good at it which I am not) I'm doing test concepts for a comic which will be an experience if I get it going, and thats about it.

Bunch of unposted stuff I keep hoarding because its mine.

But I guess if I want people to see the stuff I do... I should probably post things.

Meh just another ramble journal to bump that other one off I guess

Whatchoo doin... nothin

Guess I should make a small update, I'm not dead, sorry to disappoint some of you, but I have been busy doing art stuff, hoarding said art stuff, and not showing anything that I've either done myself or gotten from others.

Shame on me I guess

So tomorrow, or today I suppose I can show some wip's of what I've been cooking up, I've streamed a bunch as well (no recordings) but I've gotten into the 3d model craze a bit.
The few wips that I have public are on my twitter for now, which is here https://twitter.com/GraffitiDragon

If I remember how to upload things here I will put a few things on here as well for ppl to look at and judge.

I have a lot planned, currently I have 4 models all in various stages, and have probably a good 7 more planed so fun times I guess.

Are you doing it.... are you in the realm of imagination???
Good....
Just imagine for even the slightest moment....
If I uploaded art.

Whats that????
I do?????
Where you ask!?!?!?!??!
Why on my twitter.

"But Iggy", you say with wide eyes and a hope to have horns even a fraction as amazing as mine. "You said you're mean and dont like stranger danger"
Correct you are, but FA stranger danger, and Twitter stranger danger are 2 different breeds.
Twitter I actively look at and post. So if you decide to act up and be a savage, it wont be hidden in notes and I get to bully you in public C:

So if you wanna see wips or just general dumb stuff and get an actual feel for how/who I am, look at that trash, FA doesnt really do me justice because I dont use it much.
Other then faving lady solos.
Like...
Thats what 80% of my faves are....

Twitter is this: https://twitter.com/GraffitiDragon







Impossible I know.

So, I am getting some art stuff done and you may come across it.
All fine and well, support that artist if you like the work.
But to save possible awkward notes or attempts at hunting down some contact info of mine lemme just say this.

No, and dont 👀

I am not a nice person, and I dont like talking much and no amounts of "ur so sexy [insert w.e cringe sounds here] u will think different with me" will convince me otherwise, my salt is not for public use.

My ref says NSFW is NOT ok for a reason, I dont like surprises, especially from strangers, and anything you stumble across was made or done personally for me or by me.

I will not appreciate the gesture or the attempted advances.

It will mostly end awkwardly for you because I'll probably make fun of you and your low standards 👀 cuz come on, trying for me is like being proud of that old soda bottle you found during low tide.


Tl;dr No stranger danger, no "gifts" or surprises, my salt is not for public use, admire the horns from afar.

I'd marry a T-Rex

For all 1 of you that browse my page, dont panic, I didnt delete everything, I just moved them all to scraps to eventually make room for more recent stuff I've done... if I decide to unlaze and post them.

All my actual current stuff and wips are on my twitter, FA at this point is hardly an afterthought since I am hardly here.

My twitter is still
https://twitter.com/GraffitiDragon

That is where I post wips, finished stuff, commissions, etc.
Plus it is the easiest way to get my attention.

Page was a mess anyways and it annoyed me.

So where's all my art stuff? Twitter, simply because I am lazy and its so easy to just snap a pic and throw it on there.
So if you want to see any of my trash, the occasional trashpost and w/e else ends up there its still

https://twitter.com/GraffitiDragon
https://twitter.com/GraffitiDragon

I post wips, abandoned ideas, and even the processes / progress of my sketches and eels.

Mostly eels.

You gotta scroll through some eels to see the stuff I worked on.

One day I will unlaze and work on uploading here again, but that might not be for a while or when i decide to do digital stuff again.

I am indeed sitting on a hoard of unposted art both from myself and commissions.

Maybe one day i'll post them

But you should pay attention to the ppl who did the work instead.

As in go to their pages and love their work.

Like seriously,when is the last time I dusted.

Same.

Same

Please be kind, rewind.

I'll upload shitty sketches here eventually, including the raffle ones.

Oh... right I forgot about FA again, so I am doing a sketch raffle https://twitter.com/GraffitiDragon/.....10689087967235
it is free, and I am lazy and dont feel like uploading a sketch here so.... yeah
If interested just note me here or on twitter a number between 1-30. The tweet explains the rest

Hello, I suppose I should explain myself.
I've been a bad boi.
I have done very little art and posted none of my commissions I have gotten.
I have done exactly 1 private stream fixing up my mask thing for AC.
Why you ask?
Same shit as usual, I am busy and sleepy and usually not in the art mood when I get home.
Instead I sit on WoW and afk in the middle of the street, or pvp until my anus is raw from getting my ass kicked so much.
I will try to do better and get that interest back, I have been messing with a feral druid sketch which is still new to me.
I just have no ideas what to draw, but I did just turn my phone into a web cam so I can stream traditional stuff now.
On the bright side, none of this stuff I do is owed to anyone, this is the price of free stuff, I do it on my free time.
Ty for understanding ™







Eels

Soon ™

When I get time ™

I'll color some sketches ™
