What can I say...DA has been kinda dead lately for me. All of my RP partners and many of my friends have just dropped off the face of the earth for some reason- Like they say that they're working on their replies and they say that they'll be free soon but then its like a month or three later and I still havent heard a single word from them, even if its not something RP related; I never hear from them. I've always gotta be the one to initiate it and it makes me so anxious to do that-
Like I get that people have lives and all, but come on...you cant get me excited about that and then never follow through. Thats just kinda mean really...
If you're not gonna reply, then just say so.
No wonder my art flow has crashed so badly. My creative juices arent going anywhere, except maybe into updating my characters-
IDK I'm just a bit frustrated I guess... :/

All right. Who's not dead? Sound off.
So ah...hi everyone lol. It's been a hot minute hasn't it...? ^^; Before I say anything, I would like to sincerely apologize for my sudden disappearence from this site. With all the stuff that went down with DA's Ai program (among other problems I had been having before then which affected my mental health and relationship with this site significantly, which I wont go into here. If you want to know what happened you can dm me) I completely crashed and just...needed to get away from this place. It just wasn't doing me any good to stay and force myself to post here when coming here brought me so much anxiety. So I did what I felt was best for me and checked out for a while. Then after I went ahead and did that, a lot of big changes went down in my life just as the new year started that kinda changed how I prioritized certain things. I now have a dayjob. I have my own place. I'm finally taking my first steps into independence, and while it is very overwhelming, I am immensely grateful
Why I will not be watching Rings of Power
I’ve seen a few people in my general circle ask if I’d be interested in watching the new Amazon LOTR show that's coming out and I’m not entirely sure how to tell them no without being super blunt about it (because truth be told I am repulsed by the fact that Tolkien's work is being desecrated like this by this particular company sO DANG MUCH and tbh I really wish it had just been allowed to go into the public domain instead) AND I DONT WANT TO DO THAT so in an effort to not go off on a gigantic diatribe to them about why I‘m not comfortable supporting this, I’m just gonna make this journal expressing my reasons and getting it off my chest and people can take it or leave it as it is. No shame if you watch this show and like it, I promise I dont hate you if you do and by all means keep watching it if it brings you joy. I am not here to take that away from anyone. But this is where I am at with it currently and I can't sit here and pretend I'm here to support it when I just don't. (That
Lotr OC Development Thoughts
Okay so this wasn’t part of my original plan for Radrien or the fae’s genetics at all but I got an idea and I want to share it with the group pfft. So even if I dont make Radrien‘s hair black (which at this point I might not, even though the idea of giving her dark-ish hair still isn’t out of the question entirely), what if Radrien‘s hair had the same texture as Sanguine’s before she discovered her element? like it was curly/wavy before she found it but after she found it it kinda flattened out as it was turning blue? (And she’s lowkey probably a little salty about it and was so glad that Sanguine ended up with that same texture when she was born.) I only ask because I want Sanguine to kinda be a balanced combo of both her dad and her mom but because her father’s design is kinda up in the air atm I’m having to brainstorm it out. I ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT GENETICS DONT WORK LIKE THAT but…they’re faeries pfft. They already dont operate by the rest of the world’s logic by definition so why
Art Goals for 2022
It may not be new years quite yet but I wanted to make a list of the different projects/imrpovement goals I wanna see in my art next year. Heres to hoping I can accomplish what I want to accomplish lol. Finish up the new character references for Eli and the rest of the Salvation cast. I’ve got most of them started in the sketching phase but I’d love to get them all squared away since they’re my firstborns lol. Finish up Aphrodite’s new character reference. It’s in bits and pieces rn but I have all the components at least sketched out. Make new character references for Shade and co. She hasnt gotten a digital reference yet and I think she deserves one. Practice more with perspective/composition and backgrounds. I wanna make my artwork look a bit more cinematic/atmospheric, and while I have made a lot of progress this year, it’s smth I still struggle with. Maybe going a more painterly route would help me but I’m not sure. See if I can figure out a way to streamline my art process so I
