...Getting Back Into The Swing Of Things.
Hey, you guys. Long time, no see. Hope all my watchers here are doing well. I just wanted to touch base with those of you still watching me on here and let you all know that I am NOT dead. Just extremely inactive (not that that's anything new. Lol). In other news though, I'd really love to get back into the swing of things more here and upload some new art. Admittedly, I've been finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with my art in recent years. Even my writing is beginning to slack a bit. I guess I'm just getting old. My resolution for this year is to draw more though. I find myself wracked with anxiety a LOT of the time nowadays due to work and other life stresses. It'd be nice to have another outlet for my stress in the form of art. The pixel arts alone just aren't cutting it any longer (though they do help on some level).
So I guess my main reason for posting up this journal is to just ask, how many of you would be interested in me creating free-for-use page dolls on here? I want simple illustrations I can work on in my free time, such as single characters holding up "Welcome to my Page" signs or any message really that you'd like for your visitors to read. (Examples: "Please don't thank me for the llama/fave/watch/etc. You're welcome. " or "Please enjoy your stay." etc.) I'm not so certain anybody would care to actually use my art for decoration on their page, but I'd be willing to draw any character I feel is within my artistic abilities to do so. <XD Fan characters or otherwise from any fandom out there (so long as I know enough about the fandom to replicate the style on some level.) Obviously, I have deep roots in the IZ fandom still, but I can also draw characters from shows like MLP/Sonic the Hedgehog/Pokemon/etc.
I might make a few random little page dolls just for fun and see if anybody out there is actually interested in using them, but I'd also be happy to accept character suggestions too. Character suggestions or simple themes to go along with them (Example: Seasonal or holiday related themes). I might just be rambling to myself at this point, but if anybody would be interested in my current art project, please feel free to let me know in the comments below. I'm really just trying to find the motivation to begin drawing again. Might even lead to some future art streams if I can keep up with it and not give up on what I'm working on a few seconds into the sketching phase. (So many works I have stored away that will never be finished because I wasn't happy with how the sketch came out.) Most likely if I DO manage to come out with some page dolls, they'll be simple little chibis, similar in design to these:
I know these aren't the best examples, but I'm just hoping to have some fun with this little project of mine. I have some time off from work right now, so what better time to try and get back to drawing. Sorry if this journal seemed pointless to any of you. As I said above though, just trying to motivate myself towards working on some art again, no matter how simple.

Final Goodbyes/Future Contacts
Hey, you guys. It's been a while since my last journal here. As many of you already know, I've been considering leaving DA behind for good, or perhaps I should say, leaving SOCIAL MEDIA behind for good. I no longer really have a desire to share my work publicly online. If anything, I'd much rather prefer only sharing it through private platforms rather than on DA/Tumblr/FA/etc. So for anybody who truly wishes to stay in touch with me and view my works still, PLEASE NOTE ME FOR DETAILS ABOUT WHERE YOU CAN FIND ME. If you would like to add me on Discord, I'll note you back my account name. You can ask me about other means of communication also
Actually, on second thought, never mind...
Fuck this fandom...
Right when I was starting to feel just a little bit better, it was brought to my attention that somebody on Tumblr is spreading around a VERY old picture of me that was taken YEARS and YEARS ago. They are using this picture as a means to insult all ZADR fans. For anybody who may have seen it, it was a picture of me that had been taken over 13 YEARS AGO, around the time I was first getting into ZADR. I was 17 years old at the time, stupid, and just trying to show off a shirt I had had made at a local festival in my town. It was from a time when I thought my shitty old art was actually good. Well, apparently this picture of
Slowly but Surely...
Hey, you guys. Sorry for the lapse of silence I fell into last month. As I mentioned in my last journal, I fell into a really bad place with my anxiety and just sort of...phased out a bit as a result. It's not often that anxiety grabs hold of me quite THAT intensely, but I think it's finally starting to pass now. I'm not 100% there just yet, but I think I'm feeling just a little bit better now. I don't want to be just rushing back onto DA though, so I might just lurk for a little while longer before fixing my page. Still not certain if I'll actually continue posting, but I'll definitely try to keep working on my two main ZADR stories at the v
Hiatus...Maybe...I don't know
:new: The more I think about it, the worse I feel. I'm having a harder and harder time convincing myself that I'll actually come back here. Talking with people is only making it worse, it seems, and I feel like my reality is just crumbling all around me. I've had low points in my life, but never quite this intensely (or so suddenly). I just don't see a point in existing...I don't like to bother people with this sort of shit though. So sorry for being such a worthless waste of space. If I could pinpoint a source for this feeling, I would nip it in the bud. But I honestly don't even know why I'm so suddenly feeling this way. It's like a switch
