Deviantart is hard
General | Posted 3 weeks agoJust a little off-top because I’m honestly really disappointed with how things turned out (´-﹏-`)
I started posting my art on different social platforms, which is basically the bare minimum for any artist these days. DeviantArt was one of them. But here’s the catch: my account got hit by some kind of bug that literally doesn’t let me do anything. And it happened twice. I can’t upload, can’t post an update saying “hey, everything’s broken, check my other socials”, nothing
N O T H I N G
The best part? Support is completely silent. Like… nothing. At all. I get that they might be overloaded, I’m not expecting instant replies every second. But getting some help from the people who are supposed to keep the site running would be nice. Losing an account still hurts. I did put my time and effort into it
I’m going to try messaging support one more time, but if that leads nowhere, I’ll probably have to drop the platform. Which really sucks, because I genuinely used to like that site ¯_(ツ)_/¯
(fa and tg still my favorite platforms)

Art raffle question
General | Posted 3 weeks agoSooo I guess I can finally celebrate my first 100? (even more) Huge thank you to everyone who followed me, it really means a lot to me (´▽`)
I haven’t been super active lately, but I’m honestly planning to dedicate January to content and some really cool stuff. But that’s not the main point right now.
I really, really want to thank you properly, and since this number is a big deal to me, I thought it could be fun to do a small art raffle as a little thank-you gift.
So I wanted to ask you - what kind of prize would you actually like most? Since you follow and saw what I can and not
Would you prefer an icon art? Or maybe something else? Or maybe you’d like to see an interaction between our characters and I could draw that? There are so many options, so I’d genuinely love to hear your thoughts
Thank you again so much for the support and for giving me this chance.
And sorry if I disappear sometimes, but I still remember everyone and everything we talked about, I just became a bit slow lately, haha ( ̄▽ ̄)

Just some links
General | Posted 2 months agoCan I drop some links here? (´。• ᵕ •。`) It’d be super nice if someone decided to follow, hehe
I know some of you use Telegram, and it’d be cool to stay in touch there! It’s also way easier to post WIPs and lil spoilers that pile up over time. So if anyone’s curious, feel free to check it out

As for updates - I’ve almost finished all the Halloween icons that were commissioned, and I’m wrapping up the regular ones too. Hopefully I’ll be allowed to show them off soon, ‘cause some of them turned out so cool (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄)

BD and First 50
General | Posted 3 months agoAahh, my birthday’s coming up this Sunday. Really hope I’ll manage to finish an art piece with my main mascot and a few of my other characters by then (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)و
I almost never draw something special for my own birthday, but this year I kinda wanna try, haha
Been working a lot lately, so I barely have time for myself. Still, I’m doing my best to wrap up these super cute chibis of my characters with my friends characters! They’re just too sweet, seriously. And the new icons too - like I said, each of my characters deserves their own little icon ♡
As the meme goes: It Ain’t Much But It’s Honest Work
Oh! And we just hit 50 watchers - probably even more by the time I post this, haha. Might be a small number to some, but it means a lot to me. I’m honestly so grateful to everyone who followed, left comments, liked my works, chatted with me, and was patient with my slow replies (´・ᴗ・`)
Coming out of a rough time (and a nasty art block) hasn’t been easy, so your support really keeps me going. I hope to keep sharing more art that feels warm and fun - both for you and for me!
Maybe I’ll do something cool for 100 watchers as a thank-you gift~
For now... got any wishes or ideas for what you’d like to see from me next? Drop them below (⁀ᗢ⁀)♡
Love you all! Have a nice days ♡

Fursona
General | Posted 3 months agoHi again everyone (´。• ᵕ •。`) Just felt like writing a little something.Honestly, I think journals are such a cozy way to chat and share ideas. Plus this whole creative world is still kinda new to me, so I’m learning new info with big pleasure
So, today I’ve got maybe a simple question.I can read from google,but I’d really love to hear your real thoughts. Fursona .For you,individual, it is more like a way to rep yourself in an art form, or do you treat them more as characters? And if it’s more self-rep, how did you choose your design / what did you base it on? Do you personally feel there’s a line between “character” and “fursona"?
Sorry if this topic sounds silly or too obvious, but I’m honestly super curious! (•ᴗ•✿)

Some kinda of requests?
General | Posted 3 months agoTbh I’m not even sure this really counts as “requests,” but I couldn’t think of a better name for it. Today’s technically my day off, but I kinda wanna spend it doing some pose studies. Most likely leaning into a bit of the NSFW side, since I still don’t feel super confident with that but I do wanna get better at it
So yeah, if you’d like, feel free to drop links to your characters here or just DM me if that feels more comfy. Doesn’t have to be just one char either, I could even try drawing yours together with mine if you’d be into that
Either way, no pressure at all, just wanted to put it out there. Now I’m off to sketching ( ´﹀` )

Wip arts and where to post this stuff
General | Posted 3 months agoI'm probably about to ask the dumbest question ever, but...
Do you guys post your works in progress anywhere? I'm asking because I have some pieces that aren't quite ready to be put in the gallery, but are good enough to show. And so I find myself in this dilemma. On the one hand, I know that people use Telegram and Discord servers for this, but honestly, then the question arises whether anyone would be interested in it, haha
Sorry, I have complicated thought processes. I don't like it when my social networks are idle, but I don't want to show something too messy either. I love to show spoilers, because I draw every day literally and have so many arts T_T
Like for now I have ~ 4 icons, Liam sticker pack, 3 arts with chibi, 3-4 potential full arts. They all on line or color+shade sketches stages. And I'm not include here cmm and trades
So... I don't know, maybe I need to be more patient?

Some off top
General | Posted 4 months agoI just wanted to say how truly grateful I am for the kind and warm atmosphere here. To be honest, the past seven months have been very heavy for me - filled with difficult life events and a lot of emotional exhaustion. It reached the point where I completely stopped drawing and lost all creative motivation. When I posted art here after such a long break, I wasn’t expecting anything at all. The feeling of loneliness in creativity was something I had gotten used to. But as you can see, things turned out quite differently. Your kind words and friendly attitude have genuinely made my days brighter and inspired me to keep creating. I’ve regained that beautiful feeling of joy in drawing, of truly being passionate about it again
Thank you so much for pulling me, without even knowing it, out of such a long dark period of my life. I really hope I can keep moving forward together with you. And please don’t be upset if I don’t always reply right away - I’m actually a bit shy and it takes me some time to build social connections. But please believe me when I say I’m always happy to talk and to share in creative moments
Sorry for this little heartfelt moment — I just really wanted to express my gratitude
Once again, thank you, and I wish you all a wonderful day!
