Sailing Away
Posted 7 years agoIf you still care about my art (that's like 3 people here?) Go follow me on INSTAGRAM.
I also have a Telegram (@Zodie) but I don't talk to people I don't know well.
I'm usually p active there, and I post a lot of wipples and cool stuff, but it's mostly art and fursuit pics (soon to be snow suiting pics, and those are my favourite)
To be completely honest, though, I'm not really sure if it's worth my time to be here. I know I'm going to be around until Kingdom Come, sure, but wouldn't you rather be doing something you actually really cared about until The End, or the Rapture, or as the scientific community calls it, "Heat Death"?
That's my point - I'm not really INTO "furry" art. At all. I don't even LIKE it. I'd much rather draw something else. I'm not into your fandom and never was. I don't care much for the community and except for a few friends, I don't know anyone/who anyone is, and I don't care whose ass you have to stick your nose up to so you get noticed. Because y'all don't really support talent, you support popularity. Have fun with your toxic environment that discourages, alienates, and hurts people instead of supports them.
Let me tell you something. Art became such a chore to me that for the longest time, I didn't even want to draw anymore. I want to learn. I want to grow, and I can't do that by drawing the same dog's head for another badge that I'm just going to forget about the second it gets to the customer. I had to do a lot of healing before I was even able to figure out what I even wanted with my art because of the violent messages, death threats, threats of physical harm, and threats of doxxing I got almost every day while I was doing commissions. And I deserved none of it.
The truth is, I've lost a lot because of this "fandom." I've even lost someone I really cared about to bullying, and I'm going to have to accept that I'm never going to see them again. Anje didn't deserve it, either.
I can't believe this is how you treat people. And y'all call yourselves a "community". You ought to be ashamed if you engage in this sort of behaviour. It really is awful for the people that DO care and that DO want to be the best they can be. All I can say is, find a new hobby :/ sorry.
And I'm kinda mean anyway, I was never friendly, and I never said I was off the hook, either. I'm sure there were interactions that I wasn't quite as cordial as I could have been, but COME ON. You don't tell someone to kill themselves because they won't take your commission, or spread blatant misinformation because you don't like someone or for some other bullshit reason. That's going way beyond meanness.
If drawing something that I care about means that I'm going to be some nobody, then so fucking be it. Maybe no one will remember me, and maybe no one will care, but if this is the way you treat each other, I'm not sure I want to be looking for attention at all from furries. I want to be around people who are excited to see what I draw and make even if it may not be "popular". It's what I WANT TO DO, I'm running the show, and that's the end of it.
You wanted me out? Cool, me too.
Catch me on INSTAGRAM.
