Forgive me for getting in my feelings on social, feeling kinda wistful. Sometimes its nice to just think about the journey.
Ive changed a lot, A LOT, in not that long. Came out as trans, got the courage to officially do furry stuff. Ive had a lot of shame in the past, and damn it, I'm not ashamed.

Got some feelings. Seeing artists and people who are in different places in their lives. Everyone's got a different journey, and it doesnt always show, but its always awesome. It fascinates me, honestly, wondering how people's paths changes on the slightest whims. And its great... its growth..

Been looking back at my little Nash thing from earlier and I'm still vibing with it. If I can extrapolate the same sort of coloring style with more detailed textures or hatching for shading I think I could get really into it. Idk but I want to try some stuff.

honestly the coloring on this was really fun, ik its a little messy but i kinda like that style. also did the shading on the same layer for once (unusual for me) and it was kinda fun. I have such color fear when it comes to mixing lmao

You don't need to be young.
You don't need fancy equipment.
You don't need innate talent.
You don't need to have heaps of free time.
All you need is practice!!
If you want to draw...
...BY ALL MEANS, DRAW!
You'd be doing something no AI is capable of doing: CREATING SOMETHING NEW.

I'm 35 years old and stopped drawing as a teenager because my confidence in my art was destroyed

You will!! Though it may be a little different. I initially intended for them to be and alt sona that goes with another sona for my partner... but then I liked the design so much I made it into a wg sequence on a whim. Here's both of their designs!

Final takeaways: This is not a size I do often, so don't expect to see a lot of it. Truthfully it doesn't really "excite me" that much most of the time, but I did have a lot of fun doing it, just to explore different shapes!!

All the different shading, feather coloring, hair, and lines felt like I was trying out a lot of different things. And I cant forget my new favorite thing, wing hands!!! its so fun to have an appendage that is so large and so versatile, being fingers or feathers, and being so large and wide.

What a wild ride, it's crazy how this sequence evolved for me. I started it out as a low stakes thing with a truly unfinished and unpolished bird ref and ended up making something that took quite a lot of swings!!! It's not perfect, but it was fun!!

Damn thats kinda of embarrassing of me >.< as soon as I said that I thought i had a flicker of a memory about him being a shapeshifter in the past. Regardless ive changed my sona like 4 or 5 times so I feel you

Seen lots of people do shapeshifter sonas in the past, maybe something worth considering if you havent already? To my eye, all of these look very distinctly "Toshi". Maybe that doesnt mean anything, but i think this quite impressive to have many different designs give off the same vibe!!
