The best part of not starting a project 20 years ago is I've learned so much that will make the story better now! The worst part of not starting a project 20 years ago is I have to start it now. Time to relearn how to draw my own characters woo woo~

Currently having some login issues with the DMFA server hence why I've not been updating the site itself to let folks know there's delays. Which is to say I'm back in all my haphazard glory baybeee~

Dang. That sure was a good piece of media. Can't wait to never be able to talk about it because trying to navigate the discourse for meaningful conversation would require me to gear up like I'm harvesting cranberries.

One of my oldest OCs is a cheetah girl named Cheets. Unlike my other furry ocs, Cheets was always meant to have more human elements in her design: such as facial bone structure and five fingers. First pic was done in 2000, second pic more recent of 2026. #MyArt #MyOcs

An image of a cheetah furry in a red swimsuit walking on the beach.  Drawn in the year 2000.A drawing of a Cheetah furry wearing a colorful neon shirt as she sits in a chair of some cafe.  Behind her, a noise indicates someone entering the shop. The image having been done in 2026.

When I went to University, I managed to get a minor in Sociology. Not because I wanted to pursue a career but just because the subject fascinated me. I hate that capitalism not only gatekeeps education but tells people the only reason to even pursue it is for careers/make more money. Its tragic.

Honestly, if money wasn't an issue and if I were properly medicated, I'd be considering pursuing a psych degree. Capitalism robbed me of that. It's robbed us all, and they told us to love it.

I'm currently in creative hell where I have 19 REALLY GREAT IDEAS but everything is stuck in the brain doorway while my body is finding the idea of eating food too difficult to accomplish. >:I

If you are commissioning an artist, and want a specific pose, don't run to genAI to try and make it for you. Draw a stick person. Stick person poses are beloved among all artists. We can see exactly what you want. Do not fear sending the stick person. The stick person is magical.

I heard someplace once say "the price of convenience is dependency" and its lived rent free in my head every time I see another company trot out a policy I disagree with. Remember, you don't need them nearly as much as they need you. Despite how much they say you do.

Sorry bro that I missed your messages, I was outside experiencing the wonder of the sun's gentle caress on my face while nature existed all around me in all its majesty.

Starting something unpolished will still give you more results than waiting until conditions are 'perfect'. There are people in this world just waiting to find and love your stories in all their messy glory, and they're worth far more than the audience seeking perfection.

“I dont think my art is good enough to make this comic/webtoon/visual novel/game” You should make it, because even if your art isnt where you want it to be, the constant practice you gain while working on a project will rapidly improve your skills as oppose to just waiting

Happy April Fools to myself, where I tried to save a wip of the comic and unknowingly saved it over the hi-rez file. Don't mind me as I scream for 24 hours straight re-doing the last half of the shading all over again.
