My activity on FA has been abysmal for a number of reasons, but I've been posting on Twitter regularly, with art and animation updates galore! If you're interested in continuing to follow my work, please follow me on Twitter (link below)! You'll see work-in-progress posts, info on future projects, and even some upcoming opportunities for free animation! And of course, completed projects as they are finished.

The support of my followers here on FurAffinity had been the only thing that kept me working on and improving my art, but at some point my personal mental issues became too much for me to handle. With my friends helping to motivate me recently, however, I've been working on animation with a renewed vigor the likes of which I haven't experienced in a very long time. I have tons of plans for future content, most of which FA's upload system won't let me post how I want, so Twitter has become my new preferred platform for the time being. I hope to see you all there!

The short version: depression has gotten the best of me over the past 6 months or so, and the only artwork I've gotten done is a bit of the sketchwork for the comic that gave me my name. With no work to post, I kinda forgot about FA. I've felt like nobody would miss me or my artwork if I never posted another piece here, so it's been a struggle.

On another note, I attended FWA this year, and sat in the artist alley for a bit doing free sketches, and I'll be posting pics of those within the next day or two (I've gotta drive home from Atlanta tomorrow).

Thank you for taking the time to read this. This weekend reminded me how much I love doing art for other people, but I really need to overcome the anxiety and depression related to my artwork.
