I haven't posted a journal in a while, but I wanna know. And be brutally honest with me here. Do you guys really like my art? I'm not trying to seek attention, I'm just curious about my audience.

If you don't, tell me why. It's totally fine if you really don't like my art. I just wanna see for myself and maybe see if I can improve in the future

I can't believe it's already been a year since dragoneer passed. I still remember how shocked I was to hear about him passing. Despite how some say about him, it would've been cool to get to know him. But I just hope he's resting well up there. Just smiling down on such a huge and amazing community he helped put together.

I'm happy that he was a part of this place. If he wasn't, I wouldn't have met any of you guys. I don't think I'd be here even now. I hope we all continue to thrive and band together until the very end. Continue his legacy together. Thank you once again Dragoneer. And rest in peace.

About hecking time they added a name changing option. Honestly, leonidas4life was kind of a dumb name. Now I'm kinda gonna go by Dialganite for the time being. It was kinda pulled out of nowhere, but I feel like it sticks a little better. And who knows, it could possibly be a hybrid idea

I really appreciate all the bday wishes, guys. Didn't really do much on my bday, but that's okay. Thanks again everyone.

Well... now it's my hatchday. That's all i gotta say about it. I'll bet you guys are getting real sick of all these bday journals.

And apologies for the lack of content lately. Work's been hitting hard these last few weeks. Hopefully I'll start posting again before long.

That name was from  fattyDragonite hehe. But yeah, prepare for a lot of birthday journals yet again. I'll be honest though, I used to always look forward to my birthday. Nowadays I just don't care about it. I kinda miss those days... Who else feels the same way about theirs?

Title speaks for itself. I'm gonna take me a little break from the comic for the time being. This sure has become quite a successful project so far. Waaaaay better than the rather cringe ones I did back in my early days... Way better.

Don't worry, I won't push it away, it just takes so much out of me getting these pages done. You'd be surprised how draining comics can be. I might just do a regular pic every once in a while before I get back to it to keep the groove going. It'll possibly be a week or two long break before I continue. Only time will tell though.

One more thing, I really appreciate the support the comic has gotten. It always helps keep me going despite how blank my brain can be. Lol. Have a great morning/day/night/evening everyone.

Happy new years everyone. I'll be honest, last year was alright, but not very memorable in my opinion. Nothing too crazy happened at that time. But I'm hoping this year will be a better one.

As for resolutions, they're kinda the same. Hoping to improve on animations and my art style in general. Maybe I'll become a streamer/Vtuber playing videogames this year. I haven't noticed much improvement in my art style lately, but maybe I'll evolve it again one day.

Once again, happy new years and here's to a better year

It's my sixth anniversary as an official part of the community. I gotta say, what a heck of a ride it's been. These last few years have been so chaotic, yet many amazing memories were made and I've met such incredible people (despite losing a few). My career as a scalie has been kinda up and down mostly, but I'm hoping things do get better in the future for me and for everyone else. And I'm hoping to post more as well. Maybe do longer and better animations too.

Anywho... despite the slow and bad times, I'm just so glad to be a part of the community and to have met such incredible artists. There's some I'm hoping to be good friends with one day (if it don't work out? Oh well.) I seriously can't thank you all enough for the support I've gotten throughout the years, despite my very slow growth as an artist. I believe my art style will change and improve in the future.

Once again, thank you all so much for supporting me and watching me grow as both a person and an artist. Here's to another year and for many more.

I just now hit the 800 watchers mark! Just 200 more and I'll hit 1k. I'm thinking about doing a raffle when I reach 1k. I'll be totally honest, I didn't think I'd get this far with how slow my art has been improving. I can't thank those of you guys enough for the support you've been giving me.

And this is the real me. Don't let that faker manipulate you guys

Hard to believe I had to wake up knowing  Dragoneer is gone. That's insane... Despite what has happened the last couple years, I'm really sorry to hear that he's gone. He kept the place alive, he's struggled, and I hope he rests in peace. It's a shame I never got to speak to him (mostly because I never tried), but he will be missed

Title says it all. Hope you guys enjoy a happy father's day. Spend time with your dads and have a good time together with em. I'll be honest, I love my dad, but he's bad... Been an alcoholic and jailbird for some time now. My grandfather on the other hand has a really bad attitude. Not only does he act like a brat sometimes, but he starts unnecessary arguments. These guys don't set a good example for me... I honestly need better father figures myself. But anyway, hope everyone else has a happy father's day.

Title says it all. Unfortunately though, I don't think I'm gonna do anything for pride month this year.

Just sorta a little vent, so you don't have to read this. But I appreciate it if you did.

I've been feeling kinda mixed about my artwork lately. I'm proud of how far I've come, but at the same time... I tend to feel like my art... Doesn't appeal to most anymore including myself... Like, they say it's cute, or nice, or anything else in particular, yet I feel like it's a little forced in a way. Now I'm not calling anyone a liar or pointing fingers, don't get me wrong. I appreciate even the smallest of comments. That's just a feeling I've been having.

But anyway, I believe what I'm truly lacking the most, is not ideas, and not motivation, but passion. I draw, and I enjoy it, but at the same time... I just don't enjoy it like I used to. Even though I've been drawing and posting, it never felt the same... I also sometimes wish I was a better talker with all the sudden stops I've been having with some who I attempt to talk to.

But anyway... All in all, I'm grateful for how far I've come. All the friends I've made (even if some haven't been talking to me all that much nowadays), and how far I've come since the beginning. Who knows, maybe something life changing might happen in the future. But other than that, I hope you guys have a nice day. And please... Don't consider this journal as a way to grab attention.

I keep forgetting how many people have the same birth month as me. It's nuts how many artists I know have it. Goodnesses me... But now it's my turn to be the birthday derg. Hehe.

You don't have to read this. It's just a minor vent.

An out of left field journal but yep... The title says it all. I honestly kinda joined one just to see what happens and what I find.

I probably should've known better... One moment, most I spoke to are totally okay with talking to me and maybe having a little dirty talk, but then the next thing I know, I'm blocked. No idea why, it just happened out of nowhere. Maybe it was because I wasn't willing to post pics of myself.

Anyway, yeah... I'm never joining another porn site again. I mean, the vids and pics I found were really hot, but I seem to pretty much get along better with furry artists than anything else. I'm better off on here with awesome people like you guys.

Well, have a great day. Hope this wasn't too much of a waste of time.

People are definitely sick of these journals now. But happy new years everyone. I'm gonna be honest, 2023 wasn't a very memorable year for me. It was pretty mediocre as it got later onto the year.

But there are some positives I got out of this year. I finally got a job, I've made some new friends (and unfortunately lost some... again...), and I finally started to animate at least a little bit. I'm really happy with how far I've come. My art style really didn't improve all that much though.

Other than that, I wanna set some goals for this year. I'm hoping to improve even more on my art style, maybe to the point where my pics look completely different than they used to, I'm hoping to make longer and better animations too this year, and of course, I'm hoping to befriend a couple of the artists that inspired me since the beginning one day. I know these goals are easier said than done, but who knows, they could actually happen. Life is unpredictable after all.

I'm hoping this year will turn out to be at least a little better than 2023 did. I know we all deserve a good year after what's been going on since 2020. Here's to hoping for a better year.

Oh, and one more thing... I really appreciate all the support you guys have given me throughout the years. I wouldn't have made it this far without you guys. I honestly didn't think I'd ever reach 700 watchers. But who knows, I might make it to 1k. If I do, I'll host a raffle for you guys. Until that day comes, I hope you all will have a great day. Peace.

I can't believe it's been 5 years since I first officially joined the community... Where has time gone? Felt like only yesterday when I first started and was doing just traditional art. I think I even met Maz during my first year on the community. I should really thank  fattyDragonite for being my main inspiration. I still remember just watching his old animations before I joined. I think I joined before he done the vending machine animation.

Anyway, I'll be honest... It's been a heck of a rollercoaster on here if I do say so myself. I've had many good and many bad moments on the community. I've made and lost many friends. I even got blocked by many people as well. But the real friends I made made up for those I've lost. I'm hoping one day I'll befriend one or two of artists that were my inspirations.

Of course, I should thank every single one of you guys for supporting me throughout the years. I honestly had a moment or two where I felt like I should quit and leave. If I did, I wouldn't have gotten this far. I'm thankful I stuck around and gotten to where I am now. Hopefully in the future, I'll make more and better animations and pics.

I should also thank  RoyTheDragon. Befriending you really changed my life on here in a good way. And I'd say befriending you was one heck of a good feeling. But I'm sure it's only the beginning. Something tells me my life might change again one day, but it could be an even bigger change.

Aaaaanyway, I wanna thank you all again for everything. The support, the watches, the faves, comments, everything. I wouldn't have gotten this far without you all. I'm hoping you all will continue to support me in the future. Love you all, and here's to 5 years, plus many more.

Peace ✌️💚💙✌️

Yep, starting today, I'll be attending to my new job in tender hearts. But that means I won't be as active as I used to be on here. Plus my motivation to draw would probably drop more as well. I'll still post, don't worry. I just don't think I'll draw that often (not that I do anyway...)

But yeah, I finally got me a job, so I'm actually gonna make some money for a change. Who knows, maybe I'll finally afford commissions for once. Anyway, don't expect to see a lot of pics for a while. I'm gonna have to adjust to my new job.

Do you guys find me as some attention wanter or whatnot? Like when I say I feel ignored, ghosted, ect? Be honest with me. I never wanted to look like one. When it comes to feeling that way, I don't mean it as begging for attention. I've been bullied, abused, and pushed away irl a lot. I came here to fix that and make some real friends, which I did, but I've even (and still have) lost some friends here. I do admit though... a couple were my fault. But to tell the truth, I can't help but feel like garbage when I lose a friend, close or not...

Anyway... My point is, I never intended to be someone who's begging for attention. I may not know what to talk about or some don't interact with me that much, but I do what I can. I just wanna feel like I'm a real friend in their/your eyes.

And no, I didn't send this just to get unblocked by some or to complain some more. I just needed to get this off my chest and maybe heat others' opinions. Maybe even improve as a person.

Another year, another bday for yours truly. Man... these years are going by so fast....

Hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a happy new years. 😊 I hope my style will continue to improve next year.

Been a minute since I last posted one of these. But, these last few trades were honestly kinda fun to do when I'm fresh out of ideas for pics. So I've been thinking about opening for trades permanently since I enjoy doing em now.

But wait, don't you guys start asking me to do one with you right now. I'll only do trades whenever I'm in the mood for it or mostly with close friends. Got it? I may end up asking some of you artists (or other artists if they're up for it) if you want to do one with me instead. I don't mind you guys asking me every once in a while, but don't always expect a yes or constantly ask. Constantly begging me won't work.

So anyway, yeah. I'm gonna be open for trades from now on, but only when I'm up for it. I hope you guys will enjoy my future pics. Hope you all had a good Halloween and hope you guys will have a good Thanksgiving too. Peace.✌️
