Last journal and last art submission were about a year ago. About when I thought I was getting out of truck driving for good, and moved to Oregon. Let's just say I'm trying to see that chapter in my life as less of a "mistake", and more of a "learning experience". It gave me a lot of time to look in the mirror, and figure out what I needed/wanted to do. That being said, I'm finally back in a truck, driving across the country, and my spirits are up again! This time, I think I'm going to stick with it for good!

Everything kinda stopped for me when I moved to Oregon, and I entirely neglected all of my online accounts as a result. There are still a good handful of commissions I never even posted, and I honestly feel bad I didn't post them in a timely manner after the artists took the time to do them for me. I've been kinda dreading coming back here, because I feel like a lot that needs to be done. But I'm here now making this journal at least, and am going to see if I can post all the stuff that I've been hiding in the next few days. Maybe I'll actually get to my SF and IB accounts too at the same time!

Edit (because I'm a dumb forgetful Dog): I'm trying to stay the most active on Twitter right now, so feel free to check that out if you're interested for whatever reason! https://twitter.com/AmberMutt

It's pretty obvious that journals aren't really something I do. Namely because I'm not too keen on constantly updating what I'm doing, but mostly because I'm a nobody on FA, so what would be the point anyways. But I kinda felt this journal was finally necessary.

So first thing's first. If you're viewing my gallery, favoriting, commenting, or watching, I really appreciate it ^^ I didn't expect many people to be interested in the stuff that I got. Well... to be honest I don't know what I expected X3 But it does make me genuinely happy to see people are interested in what I post. It's not because I care about how many people know my name, but rather because y'all enjoy what I'm posting! The fact that someone else either likes the art I get, or likes my character enough to watch me makes my day more than the numbers. I want to thank y'all for the support, no matter what it is <3

That being said, I'm going to try and interact back with y'all, as a token of my appreciation. I won't be responding to watches or favorites, because I know myself well enough that I won't be able to keep up with each individual in that way. Plus I absolutely don't want my "thank yous" for favs and watches to feel recycled or copy/paste. But I do recognize everyone that favs and watches. I'll try my best to reply back to comments though. If I don't respond to your comment or shout, please don't take it personally! Sometimes I just honestly don't know a good way to respond back! But again, I do see and appreciate the comments every time :)

At the moment, FA is the only place I'm posting my art. I do plan to breathe life into other furry art sites and post my art there are well, most likely in higher resolutions than here. I'll make a journal and flesh out this profile with links when that time comes. Don't hold your breath on that though! It may be a while because my job drains me of motivation to do too much at the end of the day, especially when I'm working 7 days a week, and my work schedule literally changes on a daily basis.

Anyways, I'll do my best to stay on top of posting new commissions for y'all to enjoy, and will make a new journal whenever the next big update/change happens. Until then, peace!

So, I might need more than a feather duster to clean off the years of neglect this account has accumulated. There is a lot of work that needs to be done between this an my other online accounts to freshen them up, especially now that I'm starting to get commissions. Slowly but surely, as time between work permits, I'll start updating and adding stuff to this account, and link up all my other accounts here. Even if it's just one person watching me because they liked the character, or art I got, I feel I owe it to them to keep my gallery updated, as a small way of saying thank you for even being slightly interested in a nobody like me :)
