Adopts on the way! (also lil life update)
Posted a year agoI think I've been doing journals all wrong, I don't really read other people's that often but it's only just occurring that I should use them to advertise actual art updates lol
Wanted to let everyone know that I'm going to have three new adoptables dropping back-to-back! These are gonna be some standard sophymn-style pokemon oc adopts, all with a chubby theme, but I've been putting a lot of effort into adding in things like underwear alts, different styles of genitalia, and all the like, all of which will be included in the purchase!
In other news, minor life update, I've moved apartments yet again, to a place that I think I can stay at for a pretty long while. Only issue for me is the increased rent cost, which I will try to alleviate with selling commissions and adopts more often again. The next three adoptables are going to be to offset move-in fees, and then afterwards I'm going to resume building up a nest egg with my adopts that I can put towards buying a big ol PC to have an easier time running art programs and DEFINITELY not to become addicted to FFXIV.
a hrothgar oc would go super hard tho right?

2024 Updoot
Posted 2 years agoSo I've been quiet, thanks for letting me know bc I definitely haven't been haunted by the fear of losing my pointless internet relevance night after night, but if I can be a little honest and vulnerable for a second, here's some stuff in my brain rn:
In my last journal I chronicled how busy I was thanks to moving, and I would like to update that I am very settled into my new apartment now. I didn't get that bakery job I mentioned, but I got a different job that pays better and I feel more knowledgeable and passionate about, which is poggers-- i mean skibidi toilet or whatever the kids say nowadays. Only thing is that that job takes up a lot more of my free time and I haven't been able to draw very often. I'm steadily pushing myself to draw more even on days when I am out working and running errands, but also, uh, burnout.
I've felt burnout before, but not really like I am now. It's more like instead of having caught on fire and burned to ashes, my motor is just smoking, but it won't stop. I've been lacking in artistic inspiration and drive to draw things that go beyond my own whims, but let's be real, I have hardly ever drawn anything outside of my own whims. And I really think I'm starting to see a pattern here.
In 2022, I had an art resolution to draw my (old) sona at least once a month, and then I crashed and burned in December by falling out of love with him and completely overhauling my design to something entirely new. In 2023, my art resolution was to host monthly adopts for designs that I've drawn but never developed further into ocs, but then by December I was kind of all out of ideas and no longer felt the creative pleasure of character design.
SO, in 2024, I'm deciding that I'm gonna chill out a bit, and draw things that I don't feel any pressure about at all. No resolution I feel responsible for that will make me sick of my own ocs or artistic style, I'm just gonna go with the flow, flow like the wind, blow like the job. I know I already mentioned before that I never really draw things that I don't already feel an intense need to draw, but now I'm... doubling down on being lazy.
Is that the crux of this whole update, that I'm now becoming a less productive artist? Sure, whatever, this is a hobby anyways, and also I happen to be the villain in the story of life, so if you feel negatively towards me taking it easy and posting more sparsely then I'm winning. Please leave a comment to let me know that I am making your day worse with this news and that I'm doing a great job at being evil.
BUT, let it be known that even if I'm not posting as often as usual, I am still drawing in some shape or form, and hopefully what little things I do post wind up being way better quality than the things I feel rushed and pressured to pump out. I'm actually writing this damn treatise as a way of procrastinating on a bit of art I'll be posting mid-February, I just hate line art.
This journal is already way longer than I meant for it to be lmao.
TL;DR: I'm working on finding time to draw, I'm a little burnt out, focusing on making art that I feel particularly inspired to do again, expect something cute this February. Ty, gn, xoxo... follow my socials bc im gonna try to make a habit of posting my unfinished doodles there again

Sophymn profile's dead??? (NOT CLICKBAIT) ((yes clickbait...
Posted 2 years agoJust wanted to do a little life update, yes I know it's been ages since I last posted, yes I know my other social medias have been quiet. Life has been much more stressful lately and I've been having a hard time finding the time and drive to draw like I used to. I don't plan on shutting down my whole furry nightlife though, but I do need some more time to get settled and back into the swing of things.
And for anyone who's curious, here's a nice bulleted list of all the things that have been keeping me from drawing lately:
• I moved to a new city
• I got a new job
• That job sucks my asshole dry and I'm in panic mode trying to find a new job
• I may have found a new job working at a bakery, my interview is tomorrow, wish me luck!
• When I moved in, I didn't have any wifi access and the router that I ordered had some issues with delivery and came in two days later than predicted
• The management at my new apartment suddenly changed and because of it, without warning, my apartment's power was cut yesterday, and I had to arrange to pay my own electricity bills since the new management didn't want to do it themselves. I was given no warning that this would happen and an email was sent out to all of my neighbors that their power was cut about an hour after half of us told the leasing office about the issue. My power only returned this morning.
• My tablet has a fun new glitch that makes drawing very frustrating and restarting my tablet only fixes it some of the time.
• All of this stress has killed my creativity
alright that's enough whining for this journal, make sure to like comment and subscribe, and hopefully I'll come back stronger after all of this!

Posted 2 years agosophymn.bsky.social ON BLUESKY, BOY'S FINALLY MADE IT
It's kinda funny that including this one, 5 out of my 6 journals are just about twitter. It's been a real tough time on the ol' birdsite, but now I'm pretty good leaving it in the past. I'll still upload art there like always, but I'll also try to do a better job at keeping this gallery up to date with what I post there too. But if you want to see me post art AND voice my weird loud thoughts, I'll be keeping that mostly to bluesky now.

My Thoughts On Twitter ***EMOTIONAL***
Posted 3 years agoHaha so twitter amirite?
No lie, I kinda don't like FA, it's way less personal then I prefer, but with things apparently imploding there and tumblr still clinging to the porn ban, I'm gonna try to be more active here and start posting the sketches and doodles I normally reserve for twitter shitposts.
But if I'm even MORE honest, I've got a feeling Elon's not gonna make twitter unusable. Best case scenario is that he scares off all the normies and corporations and it becomes a new hellsite akin to tumblr but with more lax posting rules, but that's a pipe dream for sure. I'm gonna keep posting there primarily until the site becomes nails to walk on, because I like the more direct ways I can communicate with followers there, even if it's just me saying random bullshit that I wanna say.
And in other news, I got a retrospring. It's like curiouscat except it doesn't sell your info or w/e. I like answering questions too, so if you're curious about me, my characters, my settings, or my extensive collection of gay underwear, find me with this link > https://retrospring.net/@Sophymn
