Some of you who I was in constant contact with nearly two and a half years ago now may know that I was struggling with some sever anxiety issues. More specifically generalized anxiety disorder with a side helping of panic disorder, both of which have caused me to go silent here on this profile. Im here yo tell you all that yes, I'm still alive, and doing much better as of late.

During this abscence I went into therapy for a while and learned some techniques to help deal with it all, so it's become manageable. However I was still afraid to come back here in fear of being pressured and relapse into another bout of attacks. I didn't want to stop making art though, so I hid myself and made a new profile where I kept posting my stuff in secret.

Today though, i'm trying to make a big step in controlling my fear and anxiety, by reintroducing myself to everyone whom I left behind here in my panic.

I now go by the name of ChimeraStories, having rebranded to start anew. You can find what I've been up to here, and hopefully you all come to, at the very least, say hello and look at my work. https://www.furaffinity.net/user/chimerastories/

As of now I am closing this profile as I move my business over to there, and hopefully I'll have a bunch of stuff to show you all in the years to come.

Signing off,

To everyone who celebrate the holidays, I send you warm wishes and a Merry Christmas.

Hey! I decided to make a Discord channel for my my art and stuff. Generally it'll be used for things like Updates or just chatting, but I might also occasionally invite some of you to play games as well. Come check it out.

Hey, does anyone know of any good art tutorials or books out there to help Artists improve their skills? Specifically for things like shading or drawing natural objects or fabrics? I just feel like I could be doing better with my art.

Hey there everyone. I'm sorry about my lengthy absence from the site, but I have not been able to bring myself to be very active here as of late because of things going on in my life. Between family issues ,going back and finishing school, and dealing with depression, I just haven't had the will to do much online, and that lead to me avoiding everyone which is unfair. The more I do that though, the further I find myself becoming more depressed in the long run, so I finally decided to pick myself up and try to get back into the swing of things. Its probably going to be slow going at first, but I am determined to pick myself back up and move on because I hate feeling like I have been feeling. Hopefully I can get back into the full swing of things soon.

Thank you all for listening and I hope you all have a happy holiday season.

Happy Birthday to me I guess. Doesn't really feel all to special though, seeing as I'm stuck at work because I can't afford to take a day of, but still. I'm 23 years young today, and once I get home I'm gonna... Actually I don't know, I haven't figured that out yet. Probably Drink and Play Video games with my Roommates.

Other then that, I might do a YCH Piece in the future to celebrate, and maybe some cheap Adoptables as well, but I can go into those at another time.

I've been bored at work for the last week or so and to kill the time I wrote a quick little vore fic. It contains oral vore, digestion, and just the smallest bit of blood (like one or two sentences), but not much else. I just want another pair of eyes or two to go over it before I do post it, just in case I missed anything.

Leave a comment or send me a note if you are interested and I'll send you a copy to look over. Constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated as well.

I am so incredibly sorry for my absence these last three months. My job and the fact that I have been dealing with depression for a while are both key factors for my sudden disappearance. I know I should have said something a lot sooner to let everyone know what was going on, but I just didn't have the time or motivation to do so, despite the fact that some of you seem to have been rather worried about me. I have recently been feeling a bit less depressed as of late, so I am going to try and come out of the shell I built for myself a bit and get back to work on the projects I had promised to do for everyone. I hope that everyone understands, and again I am very sorry for just dropping off of the face of the earth like that. Hopefully this year will be better than the last.

So my friend  Nintendo917 has decided to sell off one of thier characters and I said I would do some advertising for them, seeing as I helped design the character and created the art for it. It's being auctioned off relatively cheep, and there is currently only one bid on it so far. So head over to http://www.furaffinity.net/view/21135594/ to check it out, and if you like it bid on it. It'll only be available until 12:00 EST on the 18th, so get there fast.

It's been a while, but I'm finally all moved in to my new place. I still have a bit of unpacking to do, but other than that I'm good to go and can start taking requests again. I've already got a couple lined up and I worked on a few pieces in my spare time while I was away, so look out for those in the coming days.

Starting after I finish up this last one, I will be taking a short break from requests as I am going to be moving soon. You may still ask for a request if you want, but I won't start working on them until just after the beginning of September when I am moved in and have internet up and running.

Starting May 1st I will be taking one request per week to challenge myself. I find I actually get things done when I'm drawing for others, so if you would like a pic done by me give me a holler.
