I am going to be fully moving over to Weasyl. There have been some issues on this site before, but I am appalled at the way the whole deal with Zaush and Project Phoenix are being handled. The first section of the new update says they've already started working on transparency and openness in the community. The only thing I've seen much of is censoring people and trying to hide shit. If that's being transparent then I want nothing to do with it. I know the situation with the new staff member wasn't a criminal record, and I don't know that they can simply fire a guy for things people are saying and don't have 100% true documented proof from the people involved. There is plenty of damning evidence that suggests the accusations are very true, and it's definitely not the first time the guy has been a major asshole to people in this community. I'm not great with flowery words or making things sound all nice so I will simply tell you what I think.

This is all bullshit.

Yep, there has been a ton of drama, and it is really annoying. I am seeing loads of people going "it's not my problem they hired a possible rapist" and "lel everyone will come back in a week." Having someone with a history of sexual predation and possible rape is indeed your problem if you are a member of this site. The reasons should be obvious. I can see why people would think a lot of us would come back after a week, but this time I don't think it will work that way. I was hesitant to simply up and leave because I thought this would be handled in an adult manner and I would be able to continue with taking commissions here. Instead, the problem continues and I am not comfortable with it. I'm sorry if you have read all of this and are really fucking tired of WEHH I'M LEAVING FUK DIS, but I wanted to let the people who possibly care know that I won't be sticking around. I deal with enough shit in my life outside the internet, I don't want to add to it here.

If you're staying on FA, I hope the 2014 changes work out and they do manage to get the site overhauls done and working nicely. Would be nice to see a real change instead of empty promises. If you're also leaving, hopefully new places will treat you well.

I'm going to refrain from posting anything new to FA for a while....I'm not pleased with a lot of the things going on here recently. I can't really explain anything since it seems the way vague mentions of anything are being handled is immediate banning and removing comments/journals, so I am just going to take a break from here for a bit. I'm not leaving but I am hoping the site staff will do something to explain the situation since I see a ton of people leaving for Weasyl and so many people confused about what is going on. You can definitely find answers by going on tumblr and searching the FurAffinity tag. At the moment, I am livid. The bullshit that is going on is unacceptable. I know my opinion won't make a bit of difference though, so I'm not going to waste more of my time. IF you desire to find me elsewhere, I am going to be mainly active on Weasyl (https://www.weasyl.com/profile/sorainne). I will also still be responding to comments and such here. I just won't be posting any new art and probably not any new journals for a while until I see how things are going to play out.

I know everyone's tired of these journals, but I didn't want to vanish without a word to the 3 or so people who give a shit that I post anything ever. I'd already joined Weasyl since it seems really nice to use, and this whole fiasco is just a big push for me to continue moving in that direction.

Has anyone used this program (http://www.clipstudio.net/en/index_.....2Fen%2Findex_b)? The pro version is only $50 and I think it looks decent, but I wanted to know if anyone's used it before and what you think of it? It looks like a cross between Sai and Photoshop geared toward manga artists. I might do the free trial and see how it works. ;v; I'm just really cautious and skeptical of things so getting more opinions is nice.


Also, I'm almost done with the crochet hood that I've been working on. It's time consuming and I took a break to draw a bit as well ;v;

I cleared out old journals, all of my shouts and some submissions from my gallery today. If there is something missing and you still want to see it just let me know and I will repost it! I kinda wanted to clear things out and make my page and gallery a little nicer. ;v; Not a big deal, just a personal desire to do something with my page I guess.

I've been updating less and less lately. It sucks. I was wondering if people would be interested in seeing some handmade crafts I do since I don't post my drawing as much lately? Once in a while I make necklaces or bottlecap pendants, and I just got a pattern last night to make a hood/cowl that has a kind of Assassin's Creed feel made for crochet! I'd be happy to sell bottlecap necklaces for like $5 plush shipping (which would be about $7 total), and the other necklaces might depend more on a case by case basis since some are more difficult to make and more detailed while others are simple and not time consuming. Once I crochet one of these hoods and see how it turns out I can post pictures as well, but it will take me a few days to get one done. These are just some thoughts I had today and was wondering if anyone would be interested.

If you guys have things you'd like to see more of, feel free to let me know! I might not always be capable, but I'm willing to try to post things people want to see.

Thanks to some awesome friends of mine, I reached my goal and was able to buy my violin! ;v; I will recieve it between the 3rd and 9th of December. I'm super excited and can't wait to be able to start learning the basics. I put this off for a long time not thinking I would be able to afford the instrument and things to take care of it but my friends have helped me so much. ;v; Thank you guys!

I'm going to go cry of joy while I wait until next week lol

 waitress is in pretty dire need of help, and is doing sketchpage commissions! Visit her journal here (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/5259536/) to read the situation, and maybe get a commission or at least help spread the word?

I see a lot of people needing help lately and it makes me hurt physically knowing I can't help anyone. I can't even support myself right now, I just happened to be in a lucky situation where my aunt lets me live in her basement. I'm sure any support you can offer would help!

So I checked out the inkbunny site tonight and decided to make an account there! You can find me there as Kyuubi (https://inkbunny.net/Kyuubi). Obviously I don't have anything up there yet but I will post things on FA and on Inkbunny. It will probably have a lot of the same work but maybe I will make a sona specifically for that site. Who else has an account there? I'd be happy to add people to have more friends lol.


Wow a short journal, amazing! I'm....going to attempt to draw for a bit though since I will be gone all weekend and unable to post anything until Monday.

I finally made a nsfw account. If anyone is interested, the account is  seijischneider. I don't have everything set up there yet but I will work on it the next few days.


Drawing mature art feels weird OTL

Ima go doodle some pose ideas and then sleep~

I know this is kinda random, but it hits home for me. I was on tumblr (lol as usual) and decided to see if I could find a tutorial for coloring blood or maybe make-up photos as reference. What I found instead were pictures of people cutting themselves. Yeah, some of them were made with make-up. Some posts were reaching out to others in an attempt to help. It makes my chest hurt to know people are feeling so down and they don't even care about life anymore. I know what it feels like because there was a 4-5 year span where I was like that. Cutting, not paying attention to directions and taking extra pills, just generally planning out how to go about ending my existence. I have been doing better the past several years, but it doesn't mean I forgot what it feels like. Please, if anyone feels that way or just needs to vent/chat/whatever, note me or comment here. Even send me a message on skype! I have an msn messenger, but I don't sign on often enough and it wouldn't be the fastest way to get in contact.


I don't know man, stuff just hits me in the feels. I wish I could help everyone feel better, even though I know it's not possible.

By the way, I am not suicidal or anything, I just worry for people who are. ;w;
