Tonight, I finally set up my Patreon account fully... But it was wizh a great amount of help from my friends zhat it happened. You know who you are ;)

<3

My Patreon is at:

https://www.patreon.com/Sesra

I will be offering sketch votes and and Patreon only art...
Zhe art subject will not be limited to yinglets, zhough I expect much of my following will be for zhem and OOPs related content.

I have to admit...

Tonight I feel a lot more like I do right now...certainly less like I did earlier today.

yes.

Its been anozher amazing week in so many ways. But I admit I am starting to come down off phy manic phase a bit.
Zhe good news wizh zhat is I seem to be able to sleep again--- zhe bad news is I actually need an alarm again.

Zhings have been... crazy .. wizh so much happening in on-line social media and streaming art and such.

So much more I want to say here but really cant... but I will say sometimes I feel kinda foolish in zhe eyes of people I look up to. And I really been feeling zhat lately. :/ I need to learn to chill..... and leave people alone.

Ozher zhan zhat... I have quite a backlog of personal work I want to get done. so I am not sure how many comms i will take in zhe near future... i zhink it will depend heavily on how i feel.

Right now.. I'm feeling tired.

*hugs everyone*
I hope you guys out zhere are all well...

--- BZW... Zhanks to everyone zhat wished me well from zhe back problem I had.. it took a few days but zhe muscles finally relaxed and I was okay again. really appreciate zhe support! *hugs all*

OOokay... So I am not streaming tonight.. it seems i have overdone.. somezhing... sitting at my desk.. or gettin a chill.... or I dont know what.

Anyway... I will be on as soon as my back will let me.
Geeze zhis feels and sounds so pazhetic! DX

Mwehhh.... will be away for a 2nd night...

missing being wizh my enclave and friends and doing zhe arting -..-

am happy to see zhat val did a stream and msny enclave members attended.

*hugs all*

will be on line tomorrow for sure. love you all.

Just a quick msg.. since I've been razher prolific on zhe streaming zhing.. I wont be on tonight, as I will be visiting some friends in zhe Columbus area.

I have been having so much fun on line wizh everyone... I look forward to resuming tomorrow.
*hugs all*

I want to be making things like the "Yinglet fret hosh..." stuff into a comic, but I spend a fair amount of time just drawing single-off cells which may or may not as-is be useful in combining to a comic page.

I have realized from the start "Gee .. you really SHOULD be storyboarding" .. and then that impatient side is "Just draw damn it!"

---

So heres the Q:


Do you guys want to see roughed out storyboard submissions?? (because actually I would like feedback-- hah! thats probably a stretch)

And if so, should I put them in scraps? Or leave them in my main page??

Zhat would have a poster child representative picture of me...

I want to actually tell a story, but I also want to do art .. impatient yinglet laura wants to post kindasortaprettyartwork NOW... humanvestigelaurabrain says "waaaait... ever heard of planning? .. maybe you should figure out WHAT the story is entirely before drawing?!" ... nononotimeforzhatzhinkingstuffmustdraw! ... Yinglet brain WINZ!!... FINISH HER!

*sigh*

I _do_ need to just... do some very roughs.. and zhink about it so I am not doing 1 2 3 4 nnowaitImean 1 1.5 1.7 2 3 4.... Gnah!...

*earflatten*

Okay whatevs... zhat is my ramble... I hope you peoples and furries out zhere have a good day! Okaybyebye!

Man... I have developed some very bad habits ..... or lack of good ones??? .... art-wise that I need to break....

I need to practice doing armature drawings as setup to actually dawing... lately I've been just drawing a circle and a bit of the spine..... On yinglets my weakness here becomes aparent and there are several parts of zhe anatomy I'm not at all used to and need to spend time working on... I tend to draw thick paws... thick, shorter necks... thicker legs...

I will keep drawing.. and I will TRY to put some other stuff out there so you guys dont get sick of yinglets... (But how could you!?? *adorable look*)

In other news.. still keep waking up at 5 AM or earlier and bedding headwards at 12 or later... day job... gnnph! Hahah! .. been a fun time zhere! Just... Morning gnats in my head and feeling spacey... and around 1 or 2 pm feeling zombie-ish.

Anyway... need to send in some PCB files for fab zhismorning.. lots of work to do.. Cant draw or FA all day... ... *pout*

A bit of explanation is in order as you are all wondering what have you done wiz Terzzhhesszhr--- Gah!! I cant even say zhat!

I have been on a long hiatus from zhe art world and zhe furry world.. and everyzhing...except boring and hectic RL stuffs. And zhis has been good for money (sorta) and mostly just bad for me being happy.
For zhose zhat know me.. My muse is always fueled by zhe new and zhe exciting... zhe ups and downs are heavystrong! And I dont always know where zhey will take me.

Apparently zhey go too far! ..maybe zhis time anyway! ..TooTOO powerful zhey are.. sometimes! .. but for whatever reason I do not very often have a self start to zhis process! I envy very much zhe master creators that have zhe greatness of vision to imagine new worlds with new beings and stories zhat I zhen tend to lose myself in! Zhey are like zhe drug and zhe fire that reaches into me and instills a great desire to experience it... imagine it... It is so frustrating to me zhat my mind always needs a catalyst for finding its muse... almost ALWAYS a TF story, movie... artwork... I need zhe dream of an alternate existance to cope wizh all zhe zhings I dislike in my life and zhere are many.

What you need to know, I guess, is... being a yinglet ...... is probably temporary.. zhough my efforts to reverse zhe transformation zhus far have failed... and Terzhheszra iz still around and is not going away..

I zhink as I have grown older, I have found myself less identifying with a 'fursona' .. perhaps I have finally reached a point zhat I have let go of needing to put on a face for ozhers in zhe fandom... zhis is just me... being me... having fun. Some of you may not care and perhaps ozhers will even dislike zhis.. but I hope most of you will have fun wizh me as I explore zhis new place.

Alas..

Zhe best news is... o/` Im BA-- --CK! o/` and I have, zhanks to Valsalia and Robert King ( who put me onto zhe Out of Placers story ), returned to zhe artwork scene!

I hope Valsalia is a patient and tolerant sort..

I keep trying to understand myself on some issues. I really think I don't, but perhaps I've finally been able to put some of my 'problem' into words.

One problem is that I hate myself and for several of reasons. I hate that I want to 'show off'... it instills motivation in me often (sorta good thing) , but still for all the wrong reasons (obviously). It also creates _lack_ of motivation when the bar feels too high. A portion of this might be likened to a child who tries to figure out a puzzling problem, and the 'fun' is ruined when someone points out the solution... or when he/she is surrounded by other talent that far outclasses him/her. Not to mention when things just dont go right and the result genuinely does suck....
Yeah, outwardly, I'm modest.. yet inwardly I find myself wanting attention from and to be social with people that I generally don't "rate" with. All the while I rather loath people who are outwardly immodest and especially those that fit the slang for "attention whore".

Therefore, inwardly I hate myself.

I realize it should be better for me to just do art for myself and stop posting it all together. People dont offer much for advice except maybe to just a blunt statement... and I dont need to share my art to enjoy drawing. I realize some people do like what I draw........ and I dont even know what to say. It leaves me conflicted.

anyway, there.....said it.. sorry for wasting your time.

To those I still owe art to, I've not forgot..

I'm rather sick of them... (even my own)

... That is all.

Nothing like being done with the day at nearly 10pm to knock the wind out of my sails. No art today.... and honestly I cant say I'm in the mood anyway.

And despite being incredibly tired I wish I had a sledge hammer and some xxredactedxx to have at with it.
I am very angry but I cant even say why.

So I guess I will just ... sleep.

I've been just 'goofin' around' too much with my art lately... I really like sketching, and not so much coloring... but I really need to work more outisde my comfort zone or I wont "grow" any...

I've got some gift art started that I need to finish... but I'm thinking of offering comms or maybe doing some sort of game like drawing for a free comm type thing... Just... to get me drawing more, but also to get me to move outside what I normally draw.....

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I just noticed that I use blue............ too much.

It's the dominant color in nearly everything I color ... not to mention my character. Sheesh.
It kinda underscores my lack of grasp and thus comfort with color. I really need to spend more time 'experimenting' and maybe even outright reading and learning about colors. Though I've read a fair amount.

Anyway... I'm not really knocking myself like it probably sounds I am... I simply havent learned this 'color foo' yet.

*shrug*

So often I find myself getting my nose rubbed in everything that I am __NOT__ doing... or not being successful with.

Sometimes seeing everyoneELSE's "most awesome" of artwork just makes me feel pathetic and is very demotivational......
Especially when I want to draw a subject, that everyone else is drawing.... and undoubtedly everyone else does a 'more cool' job than I can ever hope to.

It reminds me why I've deleted accounts in the past and tried to walk away from being on line with my art... but I promised myself and my friends I'd never do that again. -.-

I'm gonna be posting art with less emphasis on trying to make overly complex pieces with full backgrounds.. the business of it just seems to detract from the main subject, me thinks.. and I'm not especially great at composition type issues...
I will try to do a larger quantity of art, just because I need practice... thought about offering up doing a sketch or two a week as something people just chime in for...

In other news...

I have the song "Robot Boy" by Linkin Park stuck in my head.............

Might it be true that the degree to which people respect or appreciate you is often inverse to the amount or degree to which you attempt to be kind?, or caring?




.

1. Why did you join FurAffinity?
Well.. I've dabbled with furry art for years... decided to post my crap somewhere... I think my skills are slowly improving, at least. Like... over years XD

2. What does your username have to do with you?
Tersethra is the dragon name given to me by my husband Xanaeth.

3. What is your current avatar of?
My character as created by me.

4. How many watchers do you have, and how many do you watch?
Currently I have 50 watchers and watch 94.

5. Do you have more than one account?
Yep.. Odd series of events lead to that. But I created Tersethra because this is me now, a dragoness, and hopefully I will remain her for a very very long time.

6. Name 3 of your favorite artists on FA.
Just three? That's not fair- but look at some art I've faved art from if you're curious.

7. What artist do you admire because of their personality?
There is no one artist that comes to mind - There are elements of many...

8. Do you comment, fave, or both?
Both

9. What do you typically post on FA?
A mix of my own stuff and commissioned work.

10.What's your favorite submission in your gallery?
Of my own? Easy: Skinny Dippin' http://www.furaffinity.net/view/11560183/

11. What are the things you wish you could draw better?
Uhh.. everything..... General anatomy... poses.. perspective... yeah... everything

12. How many hours a day do you spend on FA?
At least 1 maybe 2 .. which.. explains a lot :P I would actually get some stuff done if I stopped spending so much time on line!!! :/

13. Are you a fast, slow, or medium typer?
medium. I can touch type relatively fast, but my error rate is kind of high. :P

14. What is the most annoying thing people ask you?
Wait... I get asked things by people??? What reality is this happening in?

15. What is the most annoying/offending comment you've received?
None yet, thankfully......... But I dont get many comments either so.....

16. What/who inspires you?
Friends inspire me... artists inspire me... there are different kinds of inspiration crated by different sources and people *shrug*

17. Everyone has considered leaving FA once or twice. Have you? Why?
Yeah I left twice now... A combination of factors change of fursona, depression over my artistic skills, RL complications and feeling rather disconnected from people and even a little stress relating ot my love relationship.

As maybe only a few of you know, I'm about to begin work on making a Tersethra fursuit.

This is and has been the cause of a bit of an "identity crisis" as I've tried to figure out what I want this new me to really look like.... and I like the 'artwork version' of myself... But there are some things I suspect may not work out like I want them to in costume form....

We will see.... I may yet go through another transformation or so before the costume is fully done.

Right now it's still my goal to have a partial of sorts for MFF- But that timeline is really pushing it.


In the meantime, I've been pretty negatively effected by stress of other projects and the perpetual struggle with there being only 24 hours in the day-- Some of which must.. and some more that SHOULD be used for sleeping.

Yeah...

Anyway... I hope with today comes a chance to 'feel better'... and following some serious house cleaning and stuff that needs done, I really want to get started on head sculpting.

wish me luck.... please?

I guess I still haven't been able to assimilate the last 10 years passing.

... and sometimes I feel I really don't fit in.. even in places I used to.

I've been curious where peoples TF interests lie

Scale of 1 to 10:

1) Pain level: PLS DONT HURT ME! 1 <====> 10 NO PAIN NO GAIN!

2) Rate of change: POOF! 1 <====> 10 YEARS IS TO FAST

3) TMI TF: NO BIO PLS! 1 <====> 10 Gimme BLOOD GUTS _AND_ GORE!

4) Progression of change: Like a "Political Map" 1 <====> 10 "globally"

5) Favorite means of transformation is ______________. (ex: injection, magic, curse, cursed object, sexual contact etc..)
