hi everybody,

I honestly don't even know where to begin it's been that long. to those who still remember me I guess I have explaining to do.

no other way to put it, I fell on bad times and I'll explain all in due time. but first I ask that anyone who I owe artwork to reminds me on this journal, and anyone who never got a completed commission from me will get their artwork and a refund for this.

My name is Conor, Lyca to most on here though.
as some of you might remember, last time I was on here I was never in a good emotional state, and things got worse and worse.
me and my ex-boyfriend broke up after alot going wrong, I lost where I was living and had to move in with my dad and step mother. I've never told anyone this but at a young age, I had cancer and beat it, but around this time it returned (probably brought on by my excessive smoking). depression hit, shitty circumstance after shitty circumstance. I couldn't bring myself to even pick up a pencil to draw ANYTHING (I haven't even drawn more than a 5 minute doodle in a long time).

I wanted to, but couldn't bring myself to do it. there didn't seem like much of a point. a string of short lived relationships with arseholes only soured my already fragile emotional state (not a good idea putting myself through them in hindsight). got a great job and ended up getting laid off due to lack of hours to go round.

but things are looking up, I've met a girl, we've been dating for 7 months and I can't even picture my life without her now. I'm so in love.

I want to make it clear, I've beaten my cancer again and I'm fine :) and trying to hold a positive stance for the future, I want to make things up to people and start from where I left off. the one good thing I can take from losing my job is that I have plenty of time for me and what I want to do right now is draw. I've also been working on a few projects that helped me destress and take out some anger on some undeserving folks, for that, check out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp.....rYClwXAfJVxW1A

so please, let me know if there's any artwork I owe people and you'll sure as hell get it. this. is a promise.

thanks for your time and I hope to catch up with you all soon.

loads of love, Lyca x

EDIT: I also forgot to mention that there's absolutely no way I can go through all the submissions awaiting me and have time left over to live a rich, eventful life so I'll just have to nuke the pile but I'm sure you've all been doing amazing work! :)

EDIT 2: I've just checked my messages and noticed my dissappearance seemed to worry a few of you, I can only apologise for any worry I've caused and should've explained I'd be taking a leave of absence from FA before hand.

EDIT 3 (Last edit I swear): FA will also be the only furry site I will be posting to now (no more inkbunny and SoFurry) can't be arsed posting to multiple sites (none furry art will be posted over on DA just like old times, and MAY make it's way onto here should I see fit X3). also, I've had the idea for a while now to draw Lyca in the opposite sex, so don't be surprised by a pic of him sporting tits, even wider hips and a distinct lack of his 'package' in the near future, don't worry, it's not an ACTUAL re-design/permenant gender re-assignment. just something I wanna play around with XD

EDIT 4 (okay I lied): my profile needs a SERIOUS update! first things first. updated Lyca bio pic (he's based on me and since my hair is a HELL of a lot longer and the aging process has hit me like a freight train so natural bulk and body hair is settling in nice LOL so he needs to match X3).

EDIT 5: I use too many brackets

EDIT 6: I also use too many edits
