The internet is stressful
Posted a year agoHellooo
I don't usually post journals anymore like this, because I mean we got twitter for that right but... I'd rather just write long form today.
I recently discovered Cara and I was excited and made an account immediately, pressed post and found that... actually, this is just like twitter. In fact, it's just like tumblr, twitter, bluesky, instagram-feeds etc. I dreamt back to old DeviantArt and also thought about FA a while, and I realized back in the day I didn't get so much anxiety from the internet. And of course we're talking like 15 years ago.
I used to come home from school, do homework, eat dinner, all that jazz, and then log onto the family computer and check out everyone's new posts on dA. I didn't even spend that long, like 30-40 minutes opening up peoples art in new tabs, then interacting with each individually. You never got any BS twitter freakouts where the art disappears and you won't find it again, and you didn't get super distracted by the post above, the post below, or the BS on the side. You got to focus on the art as it is, and then interact with the post alone. Nothing else is there to try and grab your attention, maybe at worst the buttons at the top saying "browse", or the fav or download button on the side.
It didn't feel that stressful back then. I guess it also helps that you didn't have that insane pressure to post every single day as well. It kind of stresses me, the pressure to post every day and at certain times for the most interaction. Sometimes I forget to post all together because "oh damn, I missed the special time window" or "man, its Saturday/Sunday no one will click today. Guess I'll try on Monday".
Luckily, I still have the spark to draw and I kind of draw a lot actually, but I barely ever post it. I may DM it to a friend, a discord server maybe, and then that's it. Posting my art to Twitter, Bluesky, FA and now Cara? That's too many places for me. I wish I had at most only 2 places to post, but to keep being relevant we got to post everywhere. In fact I should post more finished stuff to r/furry as well, I mean... The times I'm best at posting is when I'm doing commissions, because all completed stuff goes into my "completed" tab in Trello, and I can use that tab as a guide for what I've posted already and what I haven't. Everything else kind of slips away.
Also, the internet has turned pretty sour. Blue checkmark people posting intentional rage bait, apparently a lot of the internets users are bots that try to stir shit up as well? I mean last night I got like 8 likes on a reply I made by 8 different Zoe bots... And of course the problems of the world are reaching my eyes as well, which they didn't before when I barely knew English enough to use DeviantArt when I was 11 in 2007.. lol. It's not that I don't care, it's more the frustration that I can't do anything about it. For my own mental health I have to try and avoid it, but it still reaches me one way or another.
I do miss the intense need to draw and post though. I remember being so excited to draw a new thing to post, and the intense feeling of excitement at practicing something specific or studying something for art. I do this still but its more of a chore than something I'm super hyped to do. It feels like the internet has ruined me a bit. I do still get the same feeling for commissions somehow, but its less intense than it used to be.
end rant, sorry for typos (I hope they are funny) kiss mwah

Posted 3 years agoComments
Posted 3 years agoYo whaddup homies.
Before any of you assume I'm here to beg for comments, don't you worry, I am not 💕
HOWEVER, I would like to encourage everyone to go leave at least one comment to someone right now! Especially if its a submission that got 0 of them.
Why? Well, because it makes people happy! 😸 You have no idea how excited I get personally when I see I've gotten a comment or response to something!
Also even if the artist you're about to comment on has like 3092482309094823 watchers or 21904832048239 views, it doesn't really matter. If they have 0 comments, and its been a while, that comment will make them go crazy!

Commission info, prices and T.O.S!
Posted 4 years agoHiya!
https://smidgefish.carrd.co
just updated my little webpage! Thought I'd let y'all know c:
Currently both open and not open for commissions, if that makes any sense! Feel free to message me through Twitter or Discord if you have any commission wishes! ^^Essentially sort of moving to twitter
Posted 4 years agoHiya!
For anyone who still wants to see my art, sure thing! I'll probably still post it here, I like having a gallery with all art posted in it ^^
But please avoid sending me notes if you'd like a quick response, because I don't check in here as often any more xP
I'm usually here to post art or check other peoples art, but that's very rare.
I have completely stopped using Deviantart, since it lags out when I try to use it xD
If you want to contact me:
Discord: Skyee#3665
Telegram: @ Queenbear
Twitter: https://twitter.com/SkyeeORiley
For the quickest response, please add me on discord! I don't check twitter as often either, since it's often depressing. I also don't use telegram as often as I'd want to haha.
But I share commission info there, and otherwise try to post general updates for clients through tweets when I'm doing commissions.
Might come back here one day for real! It all depends if twitter becomes too much for me or not, or if there will be a new and better gallery website out any time soon.
Have a wonderful week! <3

Where to find me!
Posted 5 years agoHello!
I don't use FA as much as I'd like to anymore, I'm trying my best to focus on one thing at a time! For me, that would be twitter right now.
The easiest ways to contact me is through:
Twitter: https://twitter.com/SkyeeORiley
Discord: Skyee#3665
I do have a DeviantART account, Youtube, tumblr, etc, but I am mostly on Twitter and discord if anyone wanna chat or find my most recent art!
Have a wonderful day, week, year!! <333

Posted 7 years agoJust made this account! -> https://twitter.com/SkyeeAD
Will be posting NSFW sketches and other work there! Will possibly not post a lot of sketches and doodles here, so feel free to follow for all NSFW content I produce!
(Might also be some requests done over there in the future! For practise and such, after 7th of January)
PS: I don't do RP, so if anyone hits up my DMs with RP requests, I will reply with sillyness (Some could call it trolling, but I don't think you can call it that if I warn you, haha)
Otherwise, have a wonderful day and week!
