Hey everyone…

I'm really sorry for disappearing for these past two weeks without saying anything. I should’ve let you know earlier, but things just got a bit overwhelming on my end. Mentally, I wasn’t in the best place, and I needed a little break to get my head and heart back together. ❤️

I didn’t mean to worry anyone or seem ungrateful - I truly appreciate every single one of you who keeps an eye on my silly sketches, my characters, and this little journey I'm on. 😇

Thank you so much for being patient with me. I’m slowly getting back on track, and I’ll be sharing some art again very soon. If you’re still around, just know it means the world to me.

1. Why did I choose to draw furry art?
Hmm… honestly? I think it just clicked with something deep inside me. I’ve always loved animals, cartoons, and characters that feel full of life, even when they aren’t human. There’s something magical about giving a creature emotions, stories, and heart. It’s like… you’re bringing them to life in your own way.

I started drawing furry art because it made me feel safe to express things I couldn’t say otherwise. Emotions, softness, even silliness - furry characters felt like a cozy world where I could be me, quietly but fully.

I’ve been in the fandom for years, quietly admiring all the amazing artists and their work. I guess I was too shy to join in at first, but eventually, the inspiration built up, and I decided to try, even if I feel and am a total beginner.

So yeah… I draw furry art because I love it. Because it feels like home. Because I want to tell stories and share characters that maybe, just maybe, someone else out there will love too.

And even if I’m still figuring things out . I’m really happy I started this journey.

2. What does art mean to me?
To be honest… art became something really personal to me, especially after being hurt and bullied in the past. People made me feel ashamed of the things I loved to draw - called it silly or worse, and for a long time, it made me hide. I didn’t feel safe sharing anything. Not even small sketches.

But even through that pain, I never stopped drawing completely. Because art… it stayed. It was my way of coping. It let me create little worlds where I felt safe, where I could dream, or laugh, or feel something real - even when things outside were tough.

Now, drawing is more than just a hobby. It’s a kind of healing. It’s me learning to be proud of what I make, even if it’s simple, even if it’s fluffy, or soft, or “different.” I know not everyone will get it. But that’s okay.

Because every time I pick up my pen, I’m choosing to keep going. I’m choosing me.

3. Was starting a comic as a beginner digital artist a bad idea, even before I hasn´t practice with simpler stuff?
Not necessarily. It's definitely challenging (and sometimes overwhelming), but in a strange way... it's a good kind of challenge. I’ve learned a lot just by pushing myself to try.

4. Was starting this journey without my own original characters a mistake?
Maybe. People often connect most deeply with characters they’ve seen grow from scratch, ones they can bond with. I understand now that having my own little universe helps people care more. And I do want people to care.

5. Why also drawing SFW?
Because I genuinely love cartoons, fluff, and wholesome fun. There’s something timeless in it. Just because we grow up doesn’t mean we stop needing soft stories. I guess… in my heart, I still believe in wonder.

6.Why don’t I draw like other popular artists? (THIS ONE I GOT CARRIED AWAY)
Hehe… good question. I guess the simple answer is:
I’m not them - I’m just me. *wags tail shyly*

I know I don’t draw like the popular artists… they’ve got their own cool styles, years of experience, and big audiences cheering them on. I really admire them, truly! But my paws are still learning the rhythm. I’m just starting to walk this path, maybe wobbling here and there, but I’m trying my best.

And even if my style is a bit different, a bit quirky or softer, it’s mine. It’s growing with me. Every sketch I make has a little piece of my heart (and probably some fur smudges too ).

So, maybe I don’t draw like the top artists… but one day, I hope someone looks at my work and says:
“Oh! That’s Jasty’s art!”

7. Will I get better soon?
I’ve watched tutorials, taken notes, and listened to advice - but in the end, this is a personal journey. Improvement doesn’t follow a calendar. It just clicks when it’s ready. I’m trying to be patient with that.

8. Why is everything taking so long?
Because I have a full-time job. Because I’m still trying to build an audience. Because art, for now, is a weekend dream, not a full-time life. But if I ever get enough support, enough encouragement. I promise I’ll keep going. Even now, it’s just... hard without a clearer future to aim at.

9. Why do I post sketches and not only finished art? (THIS ONE I GOT CARRIED AWAY)

W-well… because that’s where the real fluff happens!
Sketches are like little pawprints of progress - messy, wobbly, but full of heart.

I want to share the whole journey, not just the polished results. It helps me stay motivated, and maybe it shows others that it’s okay to be imperfect while learning. I’m still a beginner, and sketches are where I experiment, struggle, and sometimes accidentally draw tails backwards… oops. 🙃

So yep, even if they’re not perfect, they’re honest.
And if someone smiles because of them, even better.

7. Why are you so hard on yourself?
Because I care. Because I want to grow. Maybe even because, deep down, I don’t fully like myself yet (okay, maybe a little joke in there.). But the truth is, this is a dream I carry. To be an artist. And sometimes dreams are heavy to hold alone.

8. Would you create your own characters someday? (THIS ONE I GOT CARRIED AWAY)
O-oh definitely! That’s one of my biggest dreams as an artist. *nervous tail wiggle*
I’ve always wanted to bring my own little characters to life, ones with cozy personalities, cute quirks, and stories that maybe make someone smile. It feels like a big step, I know, but something about it feels so right.

It might take me a while to figure them all out, but I’m slowly learning and building the courage. Step by step. Fluff by fluff. And one day… I really hope someone out there will love them too.

I’m really sorry if my little Mushu picture didn’t land the way I hoped. To me, it felt like a fun and silly story that stayed true to the characters personalities, but I understand it might not have come across that way to everyone. 🙃

I would create a Mushu responding in picture, but this time I will not post SFW pictures on e621.🖤
