I’m also making a journal to celebrate the winner of my animated icon raffle

The lucky number was #38 and that belonged to   thelonerockdoggo

You can also see the result post - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/62674140/

Does anyone else get sick while taking antibiotics?

Because I've been taking a lot as of recent for something I have. I was feeling asymptomatic, but after starting this treatment, I've just been dying to fatigue and have had a loss of appetite

Idk I'm just curious if this has happened to others

I'm back, so I can keep my art posts going. If you haven't seen my last journal or know of how I am lately, that's okay. Don't worry too much about it.

I'm doing just a pinch better thankfully, but I'd prefer not to be made uncomfortable by anyone. Thank you
(I'm just extremely exhausted)

I'll go back to my weekly posting on Sunday/s as per usual. I love you all, just be respectful

Welcome to my monthly Ted talk. Slight Aggressive Note below

---

Guess who's mental health is flaring up again? I'm back, kinda, not for long. Imma avoid FA for a bit (idk how long) so I don't become anymore fussed or triggered. I know this site, even with the sfw toggle on, can be suggestive and extremely nsfw oriented. Lately I haven't been able to tolerate anything of that such. I won't get into it in detail, but I've been hurt countless time and time again by people who only have their mind on one thing. It's brought me to my limit and I've been rather aggressive to people. It's best if I'm left alone, at least from FA.

If anyone is suggestive to or around me, I will probably block you
If I know anyone who is freaky, just be careful around me. Please.. I've been going through a lot
If you're thinking I'm being dramatic or sensitive, then leave. I don't care.
If you're into polygamy, don't even talk to me.. I'll only be bitter to you. Sorry

---

On a more positive note, I will be working on this with my therapist since it's been emotionally distressing
And, I pray none of you have gone through what I have. Some people are extremely depraved out there and it's quite disappointing. Stay safe <3

I don't think imma be able to cut the entire month. I tried my best with making multiple animated icons, but I've built up a lot of sleep debt. I've been way too tired, so I've just decided to slow down for the last week of art fight. (Plus I've been moody)

I'll be focusing on doing revenge attacks until the end now <3

If you haven't seen from my recent uploads, I am doing animated icons exclusively to spinos this year for art fight. (You can go check those out if you haven't seen em yet)

But! I'm alternating between uncolored small animations and shaded blink animations. If you have a spino oc or know someone with one, you should 100% link em to me ;p
It doesn't matter what team you're/they're on. JUST GIMME

---

Ps. yes, I am doing revenge arts between animated icons <3
It's okay to attack me lol

https://artfight.net/~SpookaSpino2

Very quick note. Since so many people I know are on team fossils with me, I will be discarding my rule of mostly attacking the opposing team. It'll be both now
Tho my first targets rn are on team crystals

I'm remaining true to my main targets being spinos though <3

To absolutely no ones surprise, I am on team fossils. I'm posting a journal a week early for anyone who wants to preview my profile. I need to update a few things, but all my new characters are up

https://artfight.net/~SpookaSpino2

---

I am dedicating most of my time into art fight this year, and I'm gonna try for mostly animated icons (smaller ones) :p
My main targets this year are gonna be exclusively spinos <3

Yes, I will do revenge and friendly fire.

It's almost 3 am. I don't really have anyone to talk to... Erm, idk. Anyone wanna be mah fwen? 🥺🥺
If you're already my friend, hush, have a popsicle. Or dm me.. I'm lonely

My main platform is discord btw.. though I guess I also use Tiktok?
Edit: My Discord user is SpookySpino

---

Btw I will be participating art fight this year. I'll prob announce it later tho

Guys I really wanna draw a dinosaur. It's a random itch to do it. If you would like, I could draw a dinosaur of yours if you own one. Put them in the comments 🥺

I am not formatting this <3

---

Update! I've made 2 (maybe soon to be 3) like artworks <3. I love everyones ocs. They're adorable. I'll note or try to reach out on discord to those I picked

Apologies for basically going radio silent for.. uhh, months I think? I don't know. I guess I'd give a little update on life and art too.

I've been in the worst depression I've ever had in my life. I've dropped literally everything and I haven't exactly known why.. yet. I haven't been drawing (until a little recently. I don't know if I'll be back tho). I haven't really done hobbies except "painfully" watching One Piece (It's good btw). The only thing really keeping me afloat right now are friends. Even though I've been a little snippy at a few, but it's fine.. I'll get better. Things will hopefully be better.

I just might get back into the furry community entirely since I've noticed I've withdrawn a little. I think there are multiple reasons as to why, but I'd rather not say.

Anywho, thanks for reading if you have lol.

Where have I been? Well, I've been on and off with art. I haven't been checking FA as much as I used to, not sure as to why. I'm not dead though. I'm not dead <3

I might be hitting a burnout, but I don't like to think about it. I think it's just my overall emotional state. I've been incredibly stressed out and it makes me tired to the point I don't even wanna do hobbies. So, my art has been caught in that. I'm trying to get through it though.

That aside, the times I do draw, I've been mainly focused on drawing a comic. I haven't really shown anything about it, and I don't plan to until the end. I'm rather slow so it might be awhile.
I've also been doing personal studies. I'm currently attempting to draw.. humans. I have no experience, but I've been attempting to study at least a little every day.

That's all. Thank you for reading if you did~ <3

Recently found this artist through another journal post. Go check them out since their art is just too beautiful <3

Aomamesbeast is holding another art raffle. I absolutely love their work, and I hope anyone who goes to check them will agree with me c:

  Aomamesbeast | https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57433804/

Found a new amazing artist, and they're holding an art raffle! Please go check them out <3

  ChaiChai2017 | https://www.furaffinity.net/view/57209542/

Making this quick journal as a last reminder that art fight starts tomorrow, and I'll be participating! I've already bookmarked an unhealthy amount of characters, so I'll see everyone there!

https://artfight.net/~SpookaSpino2

Beware
if you have a spinosaur character, I probably got my eyes on you first c:

Hiya everyone who decided to read/click on this journal! I've been absent more and more recently. I'm not gone. I'm still around. I haven't died just yet lol.

I'm really gonna try to be more active again on FA, as in, I really wanna upload more and talk more to those I follow <3
(I'm even inactive on discord. At least.. in art terms)

I've decided that I might upload an old artwork every now and then. They aren't the best in terms of quality, so I'm unfortunately not gonna upload them all.
And because of that, my personal art uploads will slow since it'll be based on what I make recently (you'll see that I'm very slow).

With that, I'm gonna slowly tackle my gigantic and messy pile of fanart and gift art people have given me. Be ready for that hah

Oh!
Edit: I just recently hit my anniversary for my art journey (I've tried drawing daily). I've now been drawing somewhat consistently for 8 years!!

Heya, quick post, Just putting it out there in journal form that the results for my raffle are in! Results: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/56096946/

Or if you prefer to read here,  Fognom won the raffle with their lucky number 79! <3

Thank you all for 300 Watchers!

---

Heya everyone! Thank you for checking this journal! And, I really wanted to say thank you for watching me. It means a lot that yet another 100 people like me and my art enough to follow me. I hope I don't disappoint you in the long run hah.

If you're wondering where I've been lately, well, I've been still getting over some issues relating to mental health. I don't check FA as much anymore, nor have I been drawing as much either. Am I quitting? Heavens no, and that's a promise. But, I know some people have left maybe because of my random dormancy or for other reasons. That's okay too. I'm just happy for those of you who still stick around even while I'm at my lowest moments.
I'm still drawing, but I'm going at a way slower pace than I was last year. I might just take the back burner this year and go at a more comfortable pace. I'm sure with time, I will make some sort of recovery~

---

Before you ask, yes I'll hold a raffle for this occasion. We gotta celebrate of course~
When am I doing this? I'm not entirely sure, but I'm hopeful it won't take a month to set something up.
How should I do it? I'm unsure for now.

If you've read this far (thank you), would you prefer if I make a raffle post/upload with art examples of mine or something like a unique drawing just for the occasion?

I hope everyone has a great day today!

Hiya, everyone! I hope this holiday season has been well for you. I'm a lot better than how I was back in November, but during that time I was indecisive on a certain subject nagging me. Commissions.

I bit off a little more than I could chew this year, and it's definitely showing. I'm not even wanting to do my practices like I did every single week. Plus with other things going on with my life, I'm thinking about cancelling any commissions that haven't been paid for.

Even though I am better, this is something stressing me. Knowing I have people waiting on me, and my current state and issues, I don't want people to wait months on me. I am truly sorry to those waiting, but I think this will be better...

If (key word, if) I ever do reopen in the future, I will ensure that I don't take on so many projects at once. I know that maybe some people will be let down, and I'd perfectly understand if you're mad at this decision. Since I know how hard it is to get some artwork from me. But, my one promise is that there will still be opportunities to get art from me in the future!

I have some spare adoptables and designs laying around, so I may do some giveaways for them as a sorry.

Hiya, everyone! I hope November has been treating you all very well. This journal may be a long one, so I'd understand if you're not much of a reader and skim. I will appreciate those who do read through it though 💚

I know I haven't been around as much as normal, so maybe a few of you are wondering what's up? Well.. it's a few things. I won't get into all of them since some are touchy.
I haven't been having the greatest few months, and it definitely shows. I don't update my FA to my regular routine, and I've slowed with getting back to people, even friends. This isn't just on FA, but this branches out to my in-person endeavors. I've tried to bypass it last month saying I'm okay and fine, but I've realized going into November that I still wasn't okay. I've been trying to get better, so I hope all of you understand that I'm going through something I don't know how to fix, much less understand. And, I sincerely apologize to all of those waiting on art for me.
I don't know if this is a depression thing or just a bad moment in my life. I've never really considered myself to be a depressed individual, and thinking about mental health gets me all worked up. I'm thinking a part of my struggles has to do with the fact that I'm not getting mental health help when I used to. (It's a long story that I won't get into) So, it's left anxiety and all that nasty stuff to roam my mind 24/7. I've been trying to work on it.

The other thing, unfortunately, is burnout. I'm definitely feeling it and it's scary that I have to force myself to draw. Art is my passion, and I hate nothing more when I have to force myself to make something. I'm still drawing, but it's been very slow. Some days I draw more, but I get extremely tired after only a few hours.
So, I'm not gonna be taking anymore projects or commissions for awhile. The reasons why are vast, but this is a huge factor. (I know the stare Ychs are beloved by all. I'll figure something out for them) I've been passionately drawing since the beginning of this year and only now, burnout, it seemed to hit me. And, it hit me hard..
There's more plaguing me, but I won't go that deep. I already kinda put a lot out here. But, I just wanted to give a progress update on art and myself. I'll probably be doing things that make me happier like having a Happy Thanksgiving later on, listening to the new AJR album, playing Kingdom Hearts, and etc. I hope this will continue to heal whatever is getting at me.

If you read this far, thank you. I hope the rest of the year will be great for all of us~

Heya everyone! I recently found a new artist that's been wanting to grow more on FA, so they're hosting a raffle for any who wanna stop by~
Like any artist I make a journal for, their art is genuinely amazing. So, go check them out!

This raffle ends on November 12, 2023

Update: I'm stopping these requests for now. I really gotta get back to my other projects, but I did need like a break for something to draw that I found comforting. Which happened to be dinosaurs. I'm still making one last one (I won't say who. It's a secret), but thank you for those who responded below regardless <3

If you saw an accidental post by me, well, I misclicked on the post journal..
Sorry!

---

Also heya, everyone! Hope you're having a good day. I know I could have had a better day today unfortunately. But..
To the point, I've been in a huge dinosaur mood. I wanna doodle or sketch some dinos, but my problem (surprisingly) is that I only have 1 dinosaur oc :c
And, not all my friends have dino ocs haha. Plus I am horrible with prompts.

---

Soooooooo, I am gonna take some dinosaur requests like I have in the past. I have some options! Just lemme know in the comments which you're wanting for your character!
Ps. Imma get some facts of each dino I draw <3

Thank you for reading. I know I'm such a text waller c:

Heya, Everyone! I'm stopping by, writing this journal, due to a random thought that crossed my mind.
So, I've been posting art every few days so I don't get behind, but so I don't spam everyone's submissions/notifications bar. I'm now alternating between my own art and arts from other artists I've gotten over the years. I also occasionally throw up some vore and designs/adoptables into my gallery.
But, I've been curious as to what you guys like seeing the most from me. Should I...

1. Keep everything as is, don't change anything
2. Focus on only posting your art and not others/gift arts
3. Separate your personal art gallery from your fan art gallery with two different accounts. (I've never made alts. But, I could try possibly)
4. Other (Lemme know)

You don't have to reply, but I'm mainly curious as to what I should be focusing on. Thank you for reading~
