My Claws - Your Face

(Well, the blog is still not gonna be revived, but I might as well give ya a little run down of what it used to be. I made some real quick sketches cause using old art felt wrong haha )

Alright, I haven’t posted on here in ages as you might know and I haven’t really bothered with updating anyone on what’s happening or why I abandoned the blog. This is gonna be a long post so if you’re interested, strap in.

It’s not a simple loss of interest, though I will say that I’ve been branching out more - both game and art-wise - and I felt like being obligated to post on only one topic and only what fits the asks I get really limited my art progress during the time I’ve been on here.

Let’s see my progress with art during the time I’ve run this blog, from first to last (comparable) drawing:

That’s what, 2 years? Now let’s look at my current, non - Pokemon art (mild gore ahead)

If I want to succeed in my field, improvement is what I need to focus on.

But let’s move on, cause there’s another reason I’ve stopped posting, and it’s... actually really positive. When I ran this blog, it was mainly cause I was a depressed, sick loner whose only activities were going to university and then just heading straight home cause anxiety is a bitch. This blog made me feel like I was a part of something.

Then that whole deal with my inflamed tendon happened, I got even more depressed with some nice old panic attacks sprinkled in here and there, and eventually had to take a year-long break from university due to my physical and mental health declining. That was a year ago. Today I had my first day back in university - I’m healthy, I’m fit, I’m in a relationship, and I’m no longer depressed. I’ve made a bunch of big decisions that are too much to describe here, but they’re what enabled me to get out of this hole and be where I am now.

Now, technically I could go back to running this blog, but honestly... I don’t want to. It was fun while it lasted, but it reminds me of a worse time in my life that I’m glad is now behind me. Big thanks to everyone who followed this blog while I was active and sent in asks back then, but I won’t be posting here anymore. No more “maybe”s and “if”s. If you still want to follow me as a person, I’ve linked my social media a bunch on the last few posts, as well as my art blog @variarts
