As of recent, I've really be struggling with talking to people. As I'm sure many are aware, I afiliate with the furry community which I tend to believe is based heavily on togetherness within its members (I wrote a very detailed paper about that recently). Unfortunately, I'm starting to feel outcasted within the community as I slowly struggle more and more with talking with its members and relating to their stories.

While I am silent here most of the time, I'm pretty silent everywhere else nowadays as well. I find it difficult to understand the decisions people make within the communities I'm a part of and generally feel like I'm losing my friends rather than bonding with them as my senior year in high school comes to an end.

I'm finding that I'm becoming increasingly more reliant on my closest friends and straying away from my interactions online, but finding it more and more difficult to find ways to vent my frequent frustrations. I'm having feelings that I shouldn't vent my frustrations to anyone as the risk of offending someone with my words rises.

The recent election here in the United States (while controversial), feels like it's pulling the communities I'm a part of apart; that's not something that I want. It seems like over the past four years, I've changed as a person in ways that I don't really like and have seen changes that I've personally found distressing, but shit happens I guess.

*Sigh.*

So for school, I'm researching aliens. It's hilarious. If you're at all interested, it's about 10 questions-ish and some of them have funny responses you can give. Take it as many times as you like!

Good news! Chapter one of Red and Blue: A Dragon Love Story was a hit with 0 across the board, so this inspired me to release the rest of the chapters with little doodles for chapter pictures. Yay!

This story will have very high maturity ratings at some points just to forewarn my audience of 0 people so far. I'll be reeling em in with my chapter doodles though.


OH, BY THE WAY...
For those of you out there who like juicy stories, this does have a maturity warning on it and this story will be getting an 18+ rating in Chapter 9. (A 16 year old writing an 18+ chapter? Someone sue me.) I'm serious though. If you're sensitive to any of the material in the story, I would suggest moving on by. Also, this isn't a fetishy story. I can't remember the last time I wrote or even drew anything slightly fetishy.

If you don't care please feel free to scroll on by.

The end of 2015 is approaching. As I'm sure you're well aware based on my annoying pestering with basic, half-hearted drawings, I'm planning on actually using my basic art skills to write a new story!
Ignore my 6 fine art credits that I have so far in high school.
wants me to write a pornographic story of Red and Blue. Kids these days. Some day I'll actually exert myself in the art community. I haven't figured that part out yet though. When I do, my drawing and what not skills will inscrease. Let me tell ya though, sonny... Comparing Sophomore drawings to pre-Freshman drawings has an impressive difference. Granted I still can't draw people worth squat, but I'll get there too.
Right after I fully figure out head structures...

On a side note, I will be posting a photo of me with my gang of cosplayers from the Renaissance festival. I'll have no doubt in my mind that those of you who have a basic understanding of how your eyes work will be able to recognize me in not-armor.

So far, I have plans to commission someone to make me a fursuit when I get into College. Along with my silly Rhyj fursuit, I plan on getting a scooter with a sidecar. In order to get there, I will need a well drawn reference of Rhyj for the artist. That being said, I'll need to really practice at drawing Rhyj. (That means that I'll have to draw him anthropomorphic at some point) Unfortunately, DeviantArt is a difficult place to find artistic imput for those in a middle class level looking for a good critique or two by someone who knows what they're doing. I am entirely self taught in drawing. Granted, I haven't finished Pokémon: Art Academy to see how Nintendo teaches drawing because you know... I have a life too. I don't spend all day on the forums or anything.

Aside that, I've been looking back into pixel art. For those of you who don't know (which is 99% of viewers), I used to make tons of Minecraft skins. I might turn back to making pixel art again as an intro to digital art. I've always thought that the style was cute (chibi stuff at least). I might work on that again.

Final note, I will need to continue developing my style. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but I feel like drawing cute things in my type. Back in the day, I wanted to draw terrifying dragons, but as I'm sure the general populus is already aware, my hand doesn't allow me to make something look terrifying. I could make a zombie look huggable. Of course my philosophical nonsense side would kick in here and I would them proceed to wonder why I only draw cute stuff. (I won't elaborate on that right now. I've rambled long enough.)

Stay frosty!

makes some pretty fine art and comissions for cheap! You should check her out. She makes dragons and other cool stuff that I can't explain because it is out of my vocabulary reach.
There's cool glowy stuff.
It glows.
Seriously.

She's quickly becoming a very good artist and I know she's aiming to make money from her art, so help her out by taking a peek!
