Hello it's been a while since i engaged in this site directly, but i plan on doing so going forward. Going to FWA last year showed me a lot about the community and it's celebration of art and the people who engage with it. It's been tough finding my place in the art world where I was often on the fringes of things. I always appreciated Anthro art, but didn't quite know how to handle my skills to make it. my work was very surface level and didn't contain the character in the characters i was drawing. After taking a character design class, i feel that i have better control of my expression now.

Since the rise of AI the internet became a hellscape and I'm very pleasantly surprised to see this community standing strong. After years of stumbling in the dark, I finally ended back here. A majority of the people i interacted online were in the furry community and a fair share of commissions i got were from those in the furry fandom. The world of the gaming and animation industry i was shooting for was incredibly harsh. Not much value was put on creativity and much more on skill. I finally learned that it's not skill that evokes emotion in others, but rather expression.

Now after exploring where i don't fit in, I'm lead to where I do fit in. Eventually i want to move all of my content towards anthro art, going forward animal and anthro art will be all I post here. It's going to take some time to adjust, but I've become more adaptable over the years. This site has also made some amazing developments and is very user friendly it seems!

And i finally made my first Sona! well i reappropriated her design into my Sona, but now i feel she has a personality! her name is Hazel and i hope to draw her in a communal way!

Thank you for reading, i hope to contribute going forward!
