Every time I come to write a journal, it's either to mention how I've returned for a while or how I'm going to return. I've very much returned here, even though to me this website is more of another place I can share my artwork. I look back at my older artwork and see a version of myself I'm not very familiar with in their comments. I see how this website presents my username proudly in large, bold text like I'm the start of the show of this specific profile. It's interesting, seeing that and a clear picture of what this person does. And I see how full my gallery is of my artwork. Sometimes I'm just struck in awe by how much I've done over the years, and how much my style and approach has changed. I'm very much less timid in what I want to show to the world, while in a way I've become a lot less active in commenting and expression of my own character. I love my work, I can almost remember every piece I've uploaded and sometimes the stories behind them. Like the very first picture of Vix I drew took me hours and I slept until 5 in the morning to finish it. To upload it I secretly borrowed my mom's camera to take it and upload it, quickly erasing the evidence of the file existing. I can remember every artwork I've drawn for others and their incredible responses for them. I can remember I took forever drawing that dancing pic for Jhusky and having changed the shading color repeatedly while forgetting about the correct proportions for his arm haha. I remember the fun moments I'd have with friends I met on iScribble, and the ways they taught me how to draw digitally, how I had a glitchy mouse and a bent tablet that made me draw in a specific and hindered way. I remember I tried to keep my art locked to a single sanitary canon about shapeshifters to one day maybe create a novel of my own. But locking down brought so much trouble, but the workarounds brought many nice concepts I hold onto to this day, like velokins, aliluks, and vulpeer. I remember the sudden switch in how I approached art when I started drawing taurs. That was a lot of fun, especially with my friends who liked what I'd draw. Maybe I don't post very often, but I really have a lot of memories here that started it all. Over on FA, of course, I did have a heck of an awakening and then on TG and Twitter it was even greater. I'm surprised with how much I've done. How long before I felt sad about how my gallery didn't look very impressive, how my artwork looked so simple, yet I think I did develop a "style" of sorts. Now here I am reaching my 30s and still drawing for you all, and it's been a great adventure. I still want to keep drawing, and I want to improve in the areas that I still find trouble, but I'm doing so. I draw every day, maybe that's not as visible here since all of that is on Twitter. However, I'm just struck by looking back at what I've started, where I've gone, and where I'm going in this. I do miss the friends I made in the past, the many silly comments I'd get from before and my way of responding them, but it wouldn't be the same to do so now. Where is everybody now? I do still get comments on my artwork elsewere but I just don't know how to respond sometimes. I love the way things have been and I hope to be able to present a new story soon to give more life and variety to my work and imagination, but for now I just want to say thanks to anyone who's still here. To anyone who's watched me long enough to see how I've changed and grown. It's been a great journey, and I hope to keep adding to it. Love y'all!

Hi hi! So, for those who've been with me for years; who's still around? It's been quite a while and I pop in once again to recover the things out of storage from my gallery. Sorry about that. At least now you can see how that little fox grew into a weird furry artist. lol, what a journey. I'm wondering what to do with this gallery, given that I've focused my art towards a Telegram channel and FA. Who knows, I might bring some art over here too. Be warned, it's furry, taury, and wild. It might take me a bit given dA's whole bulk upload thing but would be worth it! I'm probably going to skip some because of certain reasons. >.>;

Anyway, who's still around? Because I'm really not sure what to do around here, and this place has changed so much, I'm kind intimidated to be a furry around here. .w.

Aaanywho, I'll be around. I've got a lot of messages to look through. G'night! Hope to bring some artwork here again! nwn

It me. :>

I haven't uploaded to this in a while, and I've been around Twitter and FA more than here. I added some of my new pieces that have been on my FA for a while. Hopefully I can maintain this gallery well enough from now. Or not. *shrug*

I don't blame you though. I haven't been active here in ages! XD

Time sure flies a lot doesn't it? I come here to find that I have just passed my 10th anniversary being here. I created this account so long ago and looking back at the gallery I noticed how much of a long way I've come. I've hung around more on FA lately, and I believe I really should bring some of the artwork I made over here, seeing how this gallery hasn't had enough new submissions. Can you believe it? I can't. I jumped into drawing all because I wanted free art of my character, ended up being too scared to request artists and thus learned to draw. All of those sleepless all nighters learning how to draw a simple fox face really paid off! I'm still no professional artist/illustrator, but knowing that I'm able to draw anything that comes to mind and still give myself the chance to improve upon what I create; that's what keeps me happy. I'm also impressed by those who have still have hung around here after so much time, I just wonder who here still remember me or still see me as their friend. So much has changed and I get nostalgia from looking back at my gallery and my favorites. It's just so much. :'3

So, after a year I FINALLY cleared out my messages and now have a fresh inbox. I've also removed quite a few people from my watchlist. Don't worry, most of them were just users who moved accounts or have been obviously inactive for more than 2 years. So, onto updating this gallery! Eventually...maybe...
