This Report Card is not a great format but if someone makes one better down the road I may borrow from them. Let's Discuss!! To be clear. These are the Most Favorited Works (❤️) not Most Viewed Works. But I will say The Webbed FoxGal in this recap IS my most Viewed work to date. (So I'm making Notes of this!) Also Mature works seems to take the majority of Top 4. FA has ADULT and MATURE categories. I will reread their descriptions of what they consider ADULT and make adjustments if needed. If you found yourself to this account there will be more NSFW content soon. I just wanted something to reference a Year from now On New Years Day 2026. To gauge any improvements. Also earned a Follower while working on this Report so I made a little tweak to the numbers.

The Stats page on Fur Affinity is nice to see as an Artist. I like to know what gets eyeballs (👀) on them. "Why the return to Art?" I touched on this in Past Journals, but only so many read them anymore. So the tl;dr is, Luck and Finances have NOT been kind to me over the last TWO DECADES. (Yes, I'm old.) And as a result my Mental Health plummeted. Dropped Hobbies left and right, nothing interested me any more. Then I made a pivot in interest back in 2015 and didn't want my Kinks and NSFW Art to taint my new start. So I deleted the "Old Me" and rebranded a NSFW persona using an anagram of my Old Handle (sorta). In Early 2024, I started to focus more on changing Habits. Introduce task and made myself more on a Schedule. Slowly introducing more tasks and new ideas. One thing I ALWAYS wanted to get back into was ART. So we're living the "Two-Face" Style. One world SFW and the other NSFW. Only introducing the MOST trusted in my SFW circle into this Darker more questionable corner of my psyche. I'm not weird. I don't practice these situations in RL, I just watched Old Toons as a Kid. And there was a LOT of things they got away with back in the 70s 80s & 90s. One of the most influential Tropes I got into was, Damsels in Distress. Backstory DONE!! What about 2025?

For 2025 I'm branding it, Year of the Artist!! I want to create content both SFW & NSFW. Of course the NSFW headquarters is HERE on FA. And SFW stuff... Let's not trouble ourselves with mixing Water and Oil, okay? This year I aim to Post 52 Works. That gives me the Goal of ATLEAST one work per week! Not Colored, Not Inked, just a Final Sketch or something to share here. Here's the Bonus. Years ago I purchased a Kamvas Pro16 (Gen 1). And I FULLY intend to implement this into my PC set-up and LEARN how to digitally INK and COLOR my works, Bothe the Old and the New!! So please stay tuned for that in Q2 2025. For Q1, let's focus on getting back to posting regularly.

"What about Commissions!?"
NO!! My habit to appease people needs to be stopped somewhere! I hardly please myself with the works I create. It's a Mental Health trap!! I do NOT want to put the burden of appeasing a Paid Customer on myself just for a quick $$$. It's Just not worth it to me anymore. If you want to Support me, I am figuring out how. Please be patient. But I HATE the paywall meta of Patreon, Substar, Fansly, OnlyFans. I hate Hate HATE it! The Meta has disappointed me Artist after Artist. If I create a Support Structure, I will strive to make ALL my content involving my OCs FREE to all. If I do a Trade, or Use someone elses OC though, I believe it's THEIR decision what they do with my ART of THEIR character. Along the topic or influence, I will only seek Suggestions in Journals, WHEN I ASK for them!! And if you are one of the OG's, "the DID illuminati" I may be more susceptible to their suggestions. Because they were the few I left bread crumbs for to find me back in 2015. They appreciated my ART then, and never judged the old me. They understood.

I've talked enough. Just understand I am trying to Reintroduce Art back into my life. And at any moment this could backfire and I go back into my Hole like I did in 2015. Please be Kind. Please Understand. I'm trying to be a better person, for me.
