Okay that's just weird.
Posted 18 years agoAttention all you furry folks! <3
Who went to AnthroCon? Someone says they saw a girl there running around with a badge name of 'Lorelei', and that she knew Tal and the IRC channel he owns and hangs with me in.
I did not go to this convention, I have never gone to a convention. Someone tell me if they have any info on this person. I'm not like, going to press charges or anything, it's just really fucking weird that it sounds like someone's claiming to be me. WTF did I ever do to deserve impersonating? o_O
What I'm suspecting is that there are lots of Tals and there are a lot of Loreleis, and that a few of them might know each other. I've run into at LEAST one other Lorelei fur, so that wouldn't really surprise me either.
I want to figure this out, omg. Help! xD

The Characters.
Posted 18 years agoBear is me. Plain and simple. She is neurotic, motherly, defensive, affectionate, and very into honey. Her flaws include insanity and too much worrying. Hence, me.
Her distinguishing marks are usually a brown coat and a white star between her eyes.
I've drawn her since I was in high school, and then her partner in crime was my high school sweetheart, a dragon named Damballah. They got married and had 21 children and three other spouses, one of whom got divorced (I broke up with him in real life). The comic was my love letter to my sweetheart, and we wrote back and forth to each other three times a day, every day we were in school. There were a lot of antics.
Klesk is a dear friend of mine, a fursona I met on a muck and soon became good friends with in real life.
Klesk is pretty mellow, laid back, and into lickings and girls. His flaws include being too mellow, a slight addiction to catnip, and sneaking up on poor helpless bears.
...okay so that last one isn't a flaw, it's just something he likes to do. Hee.
I've drawn him for about a year and a half now, and he's been pretty easy to come up with. Since the direct inspiration for him is someone I know in real life, he manifests pretty easily.
Nico is my best friend in real life, and I made the character based on her. She's not really a fur, but everyone does call her kitten. I thought the choice in species was pretty much a given.
Nico is very much like bear, only sweeter and more giggly, with a passion for anything purple and yarn-like. She's also mildly neurotic, though not near as much as bear, and she hates rabbits with a mad, strawberry-stealing passion.
Her flaws... actually, she doesn't have flaws. She's perfect just the way she is. <3
There ya go. Consider this the REAL introduction.

Why I Don't Do Commissions.
Posted 18 years agoA friend of mine asked me to draw something for him, after seeing some of the work I've been putting out (it's been pretty constant; about five comics a week).
I am not the kind of artist that takes commissions very well, and I know this is just how my art works. Taleron, a fellow artist on here and my ex-boyfriend and my sweetest friend, can take someone else's idea and crank out what they want. Me? I make stuff. If you like it and want it, give me a number. Otherwise, I can TRY and make you something to your specs... but mostly, it just explodes into flames.
I told my friend, though, another truth about why i haven't been doing/taking commissions, and won't for a while.
My art has become my therapy.
There was a rift between me and the Person That Is Klesk, and the upheavel devasted me more than I think I want to go in to. That friendship is very dear to me, and even though it's changed, it's still very important. The rift/problem/whatever was... a conglomerate of many things, included my psychosis and my emotions, as well as his. My friendship was at risk of falling apart. That was no acceptable.
How did the rift get bridged? Well... it's still getting bridged. But The Person That Is Nico is helping with that rebuilding, just by existing, and she is the only reason everything hasn't fallen apart.
It's a strange transition.
The comic, drawing the three of us getting along and being happy, makes that a reality. They both love my comic and waited with bated breath for it every time I make one, and they both laugh with me and love how I portray the three of us together. I hope they can see that this comic is a love letter to them both. I think they do. I feel the love come back to me when they giggle over our antics.
So, yeah. Therapy. It makes the bad stuff sift to the bottom and slink into the darkness, and the good stuff float happily on top.
Anyway! Most of the work you'll see here are like knots getting worked out of a stressed body. They're usually the result of too much thinking, and once I get them out, I am oh so better.
Rambleramble.
