Belated Hatchday! And other things!
Posted 4 years agoMy special day has past! :'D Not that I missed it or anything, just at work and was busy! The allergies aren't helping either!
Tis been a year since I did a journal thingy! And sure enough a LOT has happened since the last time I did one, I'm not even sure where to start!
I'll start with probably the best financial decision I made last year, adopting Astra! :D Funny thing is that I never planned on adopting a character at all, to me I figured I'd have a good enough mindset to be able to create a character that I'd love would be the only thing I would do, and I was heccin wrong! xD I can't quite remember what I was doing before I found Astra, was probably browsing the dragons tag or something, but I do remember that once I did find her, everything stopped. The artist (Which is
VDragon-Creations who is really nice btw! ) already had her up for adoption for about a month before I came across her, so I was kinda surprised that she wasn't sold when I asked her. (I was also really happy that she wasn't sold xD) I never bought an adoptable before, so I honestly had no idea how the prices worked for them and all of that, but considering what the previous bidder was trying to get for her, I maaay have spent a bit?? I dunno, it's still art, so someone had to take the time to make it.... Anyways! Within the first month of having Astra, I was completely satisfied, and loved her as much as I do Luna, and don't regret it one bit.
So now, the art! The last few months I've been commissioning artists that have had opened their commissions, and it's pretty fun! I'm not really picky about how things really need to look, most of the time the first sketches I get from artists are great from me. I have four left that need to be done, and one of them is in the last stage before being completed, which I cannot wait for! It's both Luna and Astra in one, and they're all smug like and cool! xD But unfortunately the art will probably slow a bit down until around the fall, as I really need to focus on paying other things like bills and payments. It won't come to a complete halt, but maybe like one a month. I do have all kinds of plans for them!! I really want to get them in more commissions together, and show the relationship they have, as I'm struggling to come up with a good back story instead. I think it's better for me to have a commission done and plan a small backstory off of it. Astra needs more solo art too, and eventually I'd like to get them balanced out so one won't have much more solo art than the other, because I'm fair! :D Luckily that should be easier to manage since solo art is usually cheaper than duos. I will admit, I think my favorite art of them I got this year so far is Luna's hatchday kisses, the current featured submission I have. It'll be a rarity for them to not do some kind of devious thing in order to take advantage and instead just enjoy being in each others embrace. More backstory that I'll have to pull together to eventually make work! xD
Last thing before I sign off on this journal, I want to thank you guys again for deciding to watch me if you have. I am pretty introverted and like to remain in a small group, and sometimes I get shy to either say my thanks or reply in comments in submissions. I appreciate a lot of the comments I receive, and will even remain on the page of a recently submitted artwork and wait for the comments. xD I'm also fighting allergies, so between that and work I've been pretty quiet around the places I usually hang out at, because sleep is pretty amazing.
Also! I'm fluffy! :D

Hello! I'm fluffy!
Posted 5 years agoI didn't think I'd ever make one of these, but with in the next hour, it will be a special day for me.
On April 27, 2019, Luna appeared on this account, however, JadeDragoness (The artist of Luna's reference) posted it up on February 19. I was not really going to post art on this account, as it was going to be a lurker account, but eventually I thought that if I want to get more art of her, I should have a place to keep it online rather than just my HDD. But anyways, I considered the two dates and decided that I'm going to make Luna's hatchday officially on the 27th of this month, and I couldn't be happier.
Luna has really grown on me, being something that I wish I could be: going out, having fun and being adventurous amidst all of the *cough*lewdness*cough*. I never got to do much of going anywhere because I lived in a bad neighborhood, walking place to place with the thought of getting mugged was something I did not want to think about, so I stayed home a lot! And honestly, I didn't mind it after awhile, but has turned my into a major introvert. If it wasn't for my bills, I could probably stay on my PC for hours. But I digress, this is about Luna.
I absolutely enjoy playing as her, whether it's serious or not, the idea of her being so sporadic and silly with the situations she gets into, or how loving and tender she needs to be towards her friends, or just wants to show off, I enjoy it all, and have no regrets. I've always wanted her to be happy, and only serious if she absolutely needed to be, but that's rare, as the real world already has too many serious things going on. She a gateway for me to just enjoy my time that I have on this earth, even if all of my friends and interests at this point are just on the internet, I'm happy, and to me, that's all I need. Luna wasn't my first OC though, Mike is. He's a Braviary, a birb from pokemon. While I'm still proud to have him as another of my OC's, what I'm not proud of is my own creative mind. The birb you see on the show and games, he's no different in colors other than just his eyes, which are also green. I'll upload him to FA after this post, I don't know I haven't already. But Luna's different, I took the time to come up with her, went through what feels like hours of other dragon art to give JadeDragoness an Idea of what I'd want for her to look like, and it paid off, no doubt.
Anyways, as part for reason to making this journal, I wanted to say thank you. Each and every single one of you who said anything nice about her, even if you just faved, watched and moved on. She became such a big part of my life now, that I even bought a vehicle with her same dark blue color. (Really I just got lucky that it was at the dealership at the time!) Every comment of her looks, lewd or not, is much appreciated. And something I need to do is show that appreciation more often, although it's hard to so sometimes because some of you don't like leaving the thank yous and stuff in your shouts.
As I type, it's now the 27th, Happy Hatchday Luna, I'm glad you're a part of my life.
Thanks for reading, and sorry if this looks like it's all over the place, I'm not good at organizing xD
PS. It's not my birthday! Just Lunas'!
