Starting Over, So To Speak
Posted 4 months agoHey everyone been awhile, i don't know who still is active here that watches me but I thought I'd address why i scrapped my entire gallery and why I've been away so long.
Personal problems:
I moved a year ago and my mental health has been all over the place, i wont go into detail though as some of it is quite personal.
Disliking my art:
I'm not proud of my art anymore, it's inconsistent, messy and i know i can do better. I'm working to find a true style and improve my craft. This is the last time i will be scrapping stuff though and i will never delete the gallery.
Complete story overhauls:
Of the two universes i am writing, Dragon's Tear (Fantasy story) and Viridian Saga: Elteria (Formerly Fables of Elteria) are both being completely reworked and rewritten, I am loving the new ideas and have done a lot of world building, i believe in these new versions and I'm committed to them. I don't know if they will ever be video games now but they will at least be books or visual novels in the future. Dragon's Tear is downsizing, with far less characters and plot-lines. Viridian Saga: Elteria will now be a full fledged sci-fi with planets, starships and space gods although it still features an all anthro cast.
So in short, since i was going to reboot my stories with lots of changes i felt like it was good time to start fresh with art as well. I will be updating some past designs, pieces and making new art as well! If i don't finish my story projects ever I'll feel like i failed, so I'm going to put my energy back into it, it makes me happy.
Lastly if anyone is interested, I am interested in an editor for my stories. I just need someone who can proofread, give suggestions, point out plot holes, cut the fat, etc.

Moved halfway across the country
Posted a year agoI don't know if anyone cares but i thought I'd make a statement that i have recently moved halfway across the country back closer to my hometown in the Midwest. Getting settled in here is going to take some time. I have to start over, new job, new town, new friends, things will be better in the end but it will take a lot of work for me to finally feel comfortable again.
I 100% fully intend to get back to my passion of writing my stories and making art, its everything to me, however i want to find a more consistent art style that suits my works and a better foundation for my writing before i can really share anything.
I'm not sure if i return in 1 week, a month or 6 months but when i do return i want to be a better artist and writer. I will definitely be remaking a lot of old pieces, character designs and new ref sheets for each character. I guess part of the reason I'm feeling this way is since I'm restarting my life in a new state, i want a cleaner slate for my projects?
Thank you

I'm Back
Posted 2 years agoHey it's been awhile, i have been going through a lot recently. I'm not going to go into detail with anyone but close friends but my mental health has not been well for awhile.
Things are starting to look up though, i am finally drawing again and taking joy in it and working on my game development passion projects again. I was able to take a vacation and adopted a new kitten. I'm hoping to get momentum going on my artistic endeavors once again and am excited to share things i have been working on!

My story projects will now be videogames!
Posted 3 years agoAll my ocs and writing has been building up to this, Dragon's Tear, Fables of Elteria and my new project Everblack are now being developed as 2d sprite based videogames!
Here's a brief description of each videogame project:
Dragon's Tear - an SRPG that take place in a world inhabited by elves, humans and anthros. The story follows a luparian named Kephira who becomes a mageknight in order to become strong enough to track down her long lost brother whom she believed was dead. She will face pain, war and death as things take a darker turn when vampires and dark elves begin to wage war on the continent. The gameplay is inspired by Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, where you can utilize multiple units with varying abilities. Her teammates on Dragon's Tear are a wide array of unique characters with different backstories and uses.
Fables of Elteria - Another SRPG but this one is set in an all anthro world, it follows a group of treasure hunters (Caleb, Leone and Flynn) who get tied up in a civil war after discovering an ancient legendary land known as Elteria, the war in Elteria is harsh and brutal although they make great allies like Lucia and Sukai, but their problems soon grow and they end up having to traverse other magical lands to stop a dark mage who wants to revive an evil god. This game will be built in the same engine as Dragon's Tear.
Everblack - A dark gothic tale inspired by games like Castlevania and Earthbound, following a bat ice witch named Snowe who lost her memory of her past life and must search for answers. She soon discovers that she must ally with 3 others to try and destroy a cosmic entity of evil, Everblack. Everblack feeds off hate and fear, has devoured millions of worlds and realities. Snowe and her allies have to acquire several new powers in order to have a chance against him. This project is a lot smaller and scale but i feel has a lot of potential, it will however be much darker, mature and very weird at points.
3 games is a lot for one person to develop but I have the skills necessary to make them. I'm not sure which game will get off the ground first, but i have been experimenting with engines and began work on many character sprites. These are not meant to be solo projects in the long run, right now they are just passion projects of mine. I may be seeking voice actors and musicians down the road as well.

Hurricane Ian, Fried HDD, Returning To The Fold
Posted 3 years agoHey everyone, been a bit. Not many knew but i was severely impacted by Hurricane Ian shortly after starting a new job, it was a living nightmare to go through. Streets and businesses were in ruins, neighborhoods were flooded, homes were lost, no power, water was contaminated, no wifi, no stores open, for weeks. Gas station lines were 5 hour waits early on and 130 people died. I wouldn't wish the depression i battled these past few weeks on my worst enemy.
Not only that but the storm fried my computer hard drive and i lost everything on it. Years of projects, art wips and documents all gone forever. I was able to recover some things after digging around discord and patreon posts. Had some story/game dev stuff on a laptop that i had on there by dumb luck. But all this was a major setback and there were things i will never recover again.
Things are finally getting back to normal, some of my pc is caught back up, power, wifi and clean water are back. (albeit spotty)
So in other words things were really bad for me but i'm better now.
I wanted to let you all know i am ready to return to the art fold (i have some sketches done) and that I have exciting news regarding my story projects soon, my Patreon will be relaunching with cheaper prices and more content/reworked benefits.
Lastly I have a new project i was working on that i've been really invested in, its a darker story that revolves around a smaller cast.
I'll make another journal soon or post art when i am ready to unveil the new project details, thanks for reading

Furry Artist's Discord Server and Patreon!
Posted 4 years agoHey everyone! I have created a furry art discord server and would be glad to have you join ^^
I thought that a discord server would help showcase my stories/art projects nicely but I mainly made it so I could get more motivation to create (which is a problem of mine) as well as encourage and admire other amazing artists that land on my server. The server is public but please read the rules once you enter.
https://discord.gg/wm3Juvhz
the server is subject to change in the first few days, once i get feedback/suggestions
I have also created a Patreon, where you can vote on polls of what i draw next, gain access to all of my WIP sketches and alts of art pieces when they become available. The highest tier also gets you a monthly sketch commission! I'm not sure if it will gain much traction but I figure it's at least worth trying as it would boost my motivation i think.
there are 3 tiers for now but its subject to change if it picks up any steam or i get suggestions

Back from hiatus, possibly opening discord server
Posted 4 years agoHey guys I'm back from my hiatus! I got a lot accomplished with my stories and some sketches made! To keep myself motivated moving forward I am considering opening a public discord server to showcase my projects, while letting others show their own projects too!
I am also considering a patreon, where i offer sketch coms for a certain tier. I don't expect a lot of traffic but think it might be worth trying out at least. Just don't expect me to start paywalling my art, I'm better than that.
It's good to be back ^w^

Hiatus, need a break
Posted 4 years agoJust letting everyone know I'm going to be taking an extended break from art effective immediately, I'd like to draw more but I have other projects that have been on hold for months that I need to finish and video games to beat.
I'm also unhappy with my stories and will need to devote more time to figuring my world and characters out more, i want to be satisfied with my stories and take the time to compile changes. I also just need a breather from being online so much, i work full time and this is just a hobby. Hope you all understand.

Update: Job, Commissions, Novel, Birthday, Loneliness
Posted 4 years agoBeen a bit since i posted a journal so i thought id just lay any news on the table at once
I got a new job and moved into my own house 2 months ago but continued to work a second job as a fail-safe in case my new job didn't work out but it has been working out good and my last day at my old job will be Monday, which means more time for art and less strain on me!
Since i will be having more extra time soon, i am seriously considering opening commissions again although i need to rework rules/prices since I can't just draw for half the day and barely make enough for lunch. Thinking i will open them in slots in a first come first serve basis.
My WIP novel, Fables of Elteria is getting traction, i have written 114 pages but of course i will need to do a lot of editing/character/story changes before i will feel comfortable posting the redux chapters. I know not a lot of people read these days but if just one person read my story and enjoyed it, that would be good enough for me.
my birthday is July 14th and i am turning 27, the sting of age is finally getting to me =_=
I have a good amount of furry friends online but I really wish there was a way i could meet some irl furries, it's really difficult to meet anyone where i live especially since i am not in college anymore and work a relatively lone job. Is there any furry social app that is good for meeting local furs? I'm in a pretty decent place now but all i feel i want is some irl communion with people i can relate with.
That's all, thanks to anyone who listened.

Hiatus Update
Posted 4 years agoJust letting everyone know that my hiatus will continue till the end of holidays, I REALLY want nothing more than to have time to write and draw again but with everything going on i simply wont have the time.
I've been kept busy with work and college, college is very time consuming and i've jumped around 3 different jobs since August only to return the long term job i left in the first place. Things WILL slow down after holidays and getting a lighter schedule set in stone.
When i return i plan to practice sketching a lot, new shading/lighting techniques, anatomy study, etc. I really want to try to improve my art style.
Also when i return i will be reworking my Fables of Elteria story as a handful of story changes are coming but i still have to put them in place so the story flows better.
Happy holidays! I look forward to getting back to art as soon as season is over :3

Taking a break from art
Posted 5 years agoJust letting everyone know that i finally got a new job at a warehouse and I start the job at the end of the week
This new job will take me some time to adjust to, so it's best for me to take a short hiatus with art.
I will still be writing Fables of Elteria in the mean time, so look out for chapters if you read the prologue.

Fables of Elteria Prologue released!
Posted 5 years agoThis is a script I wrote that was greatly edited by
aarondrawsarts
Fables of Elteria is a future furry web comic but I don't feel I'm quite ready to make it yet with beginning a new job soon and needing to improve my art speed greatly, I decided scripting out the story first would be a smart approach before I get to making the actual comic.
Some story ideas and characters were over 10 years in the making, it'd mean the world to me for some of you to read it and give feedback.
Chapter 1 editing is underway but for now, enjoy the prologue!

Big Announcements Coming & Birthday
Posted 5 years agoAs many of you know I have been working on story projects for over a decade each and just recently I think I know exactly the medium to use to present these passion story projects.
This is really exciting because I feel like all that time I have just been chasing my tail not knowing what to do.
I turn 26 on july 14 so it's a little disappointing it took me this long to realize what I wanted to do with the stories but I'm just going to double down on it then!
There's quite a list of things for me to finish before I am ready to make the announcements but this will really amp of my art activity and hopefully improve my skills as well.
I will also soon be editing my galleries on FA and DA as well as joining sites like Inkbunny, SoFurry and Newgrounds.

Scrapping Commissioned Art
Posted 5 years agoJust letting everyone know i sent much of my gallery to scraps, anything i didn't make myself has all been moved there. Since i am opened commissions i don't want people to think that art i commissioned was my own work. I want to continue to improve my gallery by my own hands and ideas. Hope you understand!
Twitter account and new year, new decade
Posted 5 years agoLast year was a bit of a disappointment for me but i'm going into this new year and decade with dreams and enthusiasm
I want to start doing a lot more art and writing, even if i have to sacrifice a lot of time and hobbies for it
I'm going to make it a goal to become a better artist this year and draw way more often
i will also be more active on twitter and start using that for WIPs, sharing, reaching out to other artists, etc
https://twitter.com/RevenantW
give me a follow if youd like :3

Depression
Posted 6 years agoI've kept this a secret for awhile but for the past few weeks I've been suffering from clinical depression
not going to go to into why, but there are several things that are pulling me down, i feel lonely, lost, stuck and feel like nobody cares. i feel like my art and projects are no good and that i should just give up on them. i would vent more but i prefer to only vent to closer friends
i might lack the motivation to do art for awhile and i think i need to take a step away from art sites and several discord servers till i get well again

Writing Process Has Begun
Posted 6 years agoI have begun work on writing both of my stories, Dragon's Tear & Fables Of Elteria
After years of world building and designing its finally time i put it to paper!
I'm planning on opening DeviantArt groups for both stories and will post the first few chapters once completed for each.
My ultimate goal is to have them as printed published books you can purchase off Amazon some day, stay tuned! :3

Isabelle is in Smash!
Posted 7 years agoReally happy Isabelle got announced for Smash Ultimate tonight, some anti-furries were salty but screw them, i don't care. She is Animal Crossing's poster child and most popular character, she earned her spot on the roster.
Krystal has always been my number 1 Smash pick and my ballot vote, although she only made it as an assist trophy, I am still happy to see my favorite furry girls in Smash one way or another. Plus i have no doubt someone will mod Krystal to be playable in the future.
