Very Sick Suddenly. >w>;
Posted 7 months agoDue to that, sorry if I am very inactive online for a while, I was not expecting to get such a nasty cold in the middle of March of all times but.. is life for me. >w>;
Outside that, how would you fluffs feel if I try to open for ref commissions at some point in a few months?
I've always been anxious about this and is why I always turn it down but I am considering. Hopefully, I can work around my anxiety if I do decide to do so.

Might Be Without a Tablet for a While
Posted 7 months agoSo.. I am planning to hand off my tablet to my mate, Lixy, for her to fix in a week or so since she's not only a tech nerd but also has the tools needed to fix it. It's always had a disconnection issue that never resolved no matter how many times I replaced the cords and stuff so she believes it is most likely a loose connector than needs re-soldering.
Lixy is also moving back to her home state since our friend can no longer house her (at least until September) due to a sudden job change that requires him to move to a different state in August and the lease to his apartment ends in May so he has to move back to his parents' place too for a bit. We also can't house her due to the cramped and horrible living conditions so.. we don't really know what to do. We did plan to move in with her once we've got things managed here so.. is just unfortunate all around. xwx
(To be honest, if anyone can house her until August or September, we'd be eternally grateful. Lixy doesn't want to end up back at her parents' place and we also want her to actually have a chance to do things since Texas is not a great place to live in, financially.)
Either way, I might re-learn how to draw traditionally while the tablet is gone, when it is. Been... 11-12 years since I've drawn traditionally so this'll be interesting.

Sites I've Tried Outside of FA
Posted 8 months agoSoFurry (2024 Edition) - Super buggy, uploading more than 5 pieces of art can take several days or even weeks, each upload ban lasts 12 hours. Bugs are very upload-focused as well, making it to where it's impossible to upload anything, bug can last several hours as well. Site's also not very active, which is... not surprising, it's new (technically) and in beta. Definitely not likely to use it until it's fully developed at this point.
Weasyl - It's... fine. Pretty dead, though. It's, more or less, a modern FA in function.
Pixiv - Gives me.... Pinterest vibes? It's pretty simple but it's recent ToS changes makes the site not great for NSFW artists. (Censoring law)
DeviantArt - OH BOY.. The memories. I remember when the site was "good", it was like Tumblr for artists and so much damn drama, holy fuck. My friend wasn't even a popular artist and she was targeted constantly like she was a corrupt Youtuber. Also, DeviantArt DID function identically to FA, but you just couldn't upload NSFW art.
Baraag - Not.. really an art site at all, it's apart of the Alternative-to-Twitter site called "Mastodon", it's very anti-user-friendly and I hated every second of it. Never could get used to everything and I don't know if I trust it at all.
Tumblr - Also not an art site but was actively used by artists. I remember loving this site back in it's golden era. It was the drugged up goblin of social media sites. Completely ungovernable and unmarketable, completely unhinged. Annnnnd still around.
Pillowfort - Kiiiiinda an art site...? It functions nearly identically to Tumblr and is basically a replacement for Tumblr artists who draw a fuck-ton of porn. It's.. pretty small and not AS dead as Weasyl, but close. It's okay, I do like it but I feel like it's not going to be around for long because PF constantly has to fundraise the site and it barely makes the mark usually.

Sorry for the Sudden Art Flood x3
Posted 8 months agoJust was uploading all my old art (or well, what I am comfortable with uploading) and they're all sonas I tend to go to, sometimes, when I am in the mood. I know it's a lot but I am just.. incredibly indecisive. lol
Either way, hope you fluffs like them. o3o
