Hello everyone, my name is Mallow, but you can call me Naolu here on Furaffinity !

I created this account because I wanted to have a special place appart from my "regular" art. If you're interested in seeing my other artworks, feel free to check out my Linktree : https://linktr.ee/Mart_Mallow.

Here's a little more about me and my relationship with art and furries :
I don't really consider myself as a "real" member of the furry fandom, but I've always admired them for their creativity and the amount of different skilled artists there are in this fandom. My artist self is amazed by all the art, and my cosplayer self is astonished by fursuits. Also, the fact that I'm dating a furry would obviously drive me into this fandom one way or another ! I mostly consider myself some kind of furry ally or half furry (since I do have a fursona and a fursuit).
Art has been a part of my life since I was 12 or so, and I took it more seriously around 15 yo. I'm almost turning 24 now, but my passion for art has been quite tarnished... I've always seen being an artist as some kind of curse, because I can't really fit in the adult world because of my dreams of living from my art... I used to post my art on social media, and be really hurt when seeing that it didn't get the attention I hoped for, and I compared myself to others way too much (even though still do that unfortunatelly...). After all of this, I decided to quit sharing my art constantly for about 4 years. Lately, I've also suffered from a burn out because of my very first work, added to my already instable mental health, and because of a huge turn in my life, I couldn't find any energy nor motivation to draw anything, and it affected me even more. But I want to change that, even though I'm terrified ! That's why I'm doing things step by step, a and try to recover from a harsh time of my life, and make my passion towards art come back !

My biggest dream is to live from my art, either by making digital artworks, selling some merch, cosplays or fursuit making with my little group, everything suits me, I like to create ! So if you'd like to follow me through this journey, come along, you're all welcome !

See you around !
