Something New
Posted 12 years agoMy last journal was a year ago? Wow.
It feels hard to believe, but when you consider how little I participate in the furry community these days, I guess it's actually not.
I wanna update you guys on my life, but I don't know how much you knew about it before.
Hmmm...what's relevant?
I'm living in metro Detroit. Roughly 3 months away from turning 26. I'm getting to be pretty decent at poi. Still writing articles to pay my bills. Feeling exceptionally pleased and happy with a lot of areas of my life.
Thanks to all the new watchers, and to all the people who have stuck around despite my unannounced hiatuses!
And, my Art blog- This is where I put works in progress and non-furry stuff: http://msnarcissist.tumblr.com/

Posted 13 years agoI wanna post some new art on here but I've been absolutely uninspired on the topic of furries.
Gimme some animal or character (mine or your own) suggestions and we'll see if that sparks anything.

Patience
Posted 16 years agoTo everyone that I'm doing commissions for, trades with, whatever, just gimme until the end of this week.
Classes started and then two of my former roommates lost their fucking minds and all their manners and I just need this one week of no one expecting anything from me in order to get my rl shit together.
I haven't had time to draw anything in too long.

Posted 16 years agoFuraffinity should just be called Dramaffinity.
Just Curious
Posted 16 years agoSo, I've noticed that I draw a lot of the same shit over and over. And a lot of the same characters.
And when I look at my gallery I'm really disappointed by the lack of variety. I'd really like to give my watchers something to, ya know, actually watch.
I'd like to bust out of that.
I attempted this by doing trades but half the people never came through on their portion, so I don't know when I'll offer them again.
So, what would you guys like to see more of?
Anythingthat you'd like to see in my style?
Is there anything you feel I do particularly well?
What are some areas that you think I need work in? I realize that I should probably be working on perspective and backgrounds, anything else? Shading? Anatomy? The way that clothing folds?
I'm trying to grow. Now nourish me, motherfuckers, with your suggestions and whatnot.
