Check me out, I can't keep up with DeviantArt to save my life!

Standard excuses apply, this year's really busy, I bought a house, I'm getting married, I have about 4 or 5 different projects going on all at once because I'm scatterbrained and can't reign in creativity to finish much of what I start.

Go me! :3

An update pertaining to a controversy I don't seem to understand, but I have been asked about...so let's just go ahead and address my stance here right on the front page.




Furry!!
Okay no. Believe it or not, I don't really think of myself as a furry or as part of the "furry fandom." I'm a hairless ape just like you are.

But you draw furries!
Ever since I was a small child who never knew anything of the internet I drew animals and created animal characters. I grew up on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Sonic the Hedgehog. I see humans everywhere, every day, in the real world. So sue me, I like my artwork to be fantasy - things that I can't see in the real world.

But you have a fursona!
Also a habit I picked up as a kid, my friends and I would decide what kind of animal traits me and our friends had just based on their mannerisms or appearance. I draw myself as a leopard these days because I'm redheaded, freckled, and happen to collect leopard-spotted things. It's actually kinda fun to pick out these sorts of things - I had a professor that distinctly reminded me of an owl, hehe.

But you fursuit!
I started dabbling in animal costumes as just a natural extension of my interest in costuming. Making a mascot-style head and costume is an exercise in wearable art and actually quite challenging. I wear my costumes on halloween or potentially for church/childrens functions, not out on the street as everyday clothes.

You play furcadia!
And have since long before I was aware there was a "furry fandom" out there. It's a fun game with a lot of customization potential and lets me play with a very flexible map making and programming system. I play it because it's fun.

You're part of furry communities online!
Because they're usually a great place for anthro artists and, believe it or not, most furries I interact with are very nice and very reasonable people. Even if I don't call myself a furry, I can still enjoy the company of those who do.

Yiff?
I don't even approve of human porn. Why would I approve of anthro porn?

Lifestyler?
I just use animals in my art - drawing, sculpture, costume - I don't believe I have any kind of spiritual connection to an animal. I don't believe I'm an animal trapped in a humans body. I don't secretly wish I was an animal. I'm completely, fully aware I'm human. Trust me, I'm quite sane.

So you hate furries!
No. Furries don't seem to be terribly threatening. I'll admit some parts of the fandom are a little odd or even disturbing to me, but overall the majority really aren't hurting anyone. Live and let live, right?

So you approve of bestiality?
No to that too. Of course I don't approve. I don't even approve of human sex outside of wedlock. Why do people automatically think bestiality with furries? I've met and still correspond with a lot of them...it's only a fraction of a percent of that "fandom" that's into that sort of thing. Why do they get all the attention?

Then why do you know all the furry terminology?
What, like fursecution, yiff, furfag, scritch, etc? Because I did my research when I heard about it.

I don't care what you say. Yiff in hell furfag.
Alright. If you really want to call me a furry, go ahead. Names are things other people give you.

I can't believe you won't stand up for furries, you suck.
Seriously just because I draw anthro art I HAVE to take sides in what has to be one of THE stupidest internet dramas of all time? Good heavens people.

Yeahhh...you know, guys, you would do well to never expect me to update this thing again.

I just never remember.

Yeah.

So, just don't bother reading this part.

Just look at the pretty pictures.

...


...what the heck are you doing?

I said don't read this!

Stop it!

Stop it I say!

Don't make me crawl through your modem and get you!

...

...that's better. Move along, nothing to see here.

Another Update?

2 min read
For the life of me I never remember to update this thing!

The doodle bug's bitten me a few times in the past week, which is nice, because for a while there I lost the motivation to draw much.

Perhaps this is another benefit of giving up caffeine for lent in addition to more energy, more appetite, gaining weight back to a healthy weight, and less mean mood swings? (I sound like a health commercial don't I? I've been shocked how much better I feel overall without caffenated sodas in my system, so I've been telling everybody, hehe.)

If you guys wonder what takes up a lot of my time as far as artwork goes, that would be my webcomic. Click on my website link up there and hit 'Divided Sky' to check it out...updates are months in between because I upload entire issues, usually 30-40 pages, in a single update. (And hey, 6 months is only 24 weeks, 9 months is only 36 weeks, so technically this gets the comic up faster than a weekly update schedule, right? Haha!)

*coughs* Anyways...

Next project for the next two days is a website update I've been meaning to do since Christmas break. I shall be working feverishly on it as well as the comic to reach my personal goal on both before I go back to school on Monday. (I won't be telling you WHAT that personal goal is, though, so that if I don't reach them nobody will fuss at me. Ooh, sneaky and underhanded, right?)

This journal gets updated less often than my webcomic, lol. I should be better about that. Moving on now, hope all's going well out there in DA land. Oh! Should get around to posting a few links to plug other deviants, huh? ^^

-- For the sake of brevity, links to my RL friends who are spiffy:
