UPDATE NOV 2022, cleaned house
Posted 3 years agoHaving given commissioned work owners far more time then I had already given, the house is clear. Kept a few personal favorites, but they might go at another time.
End of the ride
Posted 4 years agoI have been contemplating a decision for awhile now, but I believe it time to for me to leave FA, at least for the time being, maybe if things change in the future I'll come back.
I don't make this choice lightly, even though I've always felt that was never a 100% in on the Furry fandom, my persona is and always will be a werewolf and all my characters I have developed have been different species within my creative worlds, unlike the vast majority of fursonas which are basically just ones personal alternate vision of their human form.
So I've always had one foot in and one foot out concerning the fandom, I've done commissions and attended cons and had a fun time, but in the last few years with the rise of political correctness and cancel culture within the fandom and the new FA policies only showed me that maybe its best if I go my own way rather then fight a pointless fight.
Rather then get angry against these tactics to silence 'unapproved' speech or artwork I find it better to just take my artwork somewhere else where blatant censorship isn't detrimental to my ability to express myself or that of others (via commission work).
For those who have commission work from me here, you'll have until May 1st, 2021. After that all artwork will be pulled.
Farwell
