I realize it's been quite some time since I last said more than a occasional comment on other's art. I've been in a bit of an introverted, reclusive mood for the while. Since my last update, I've turned 30, and graduated college (though have yet to find a job in this broken economy).

I've gotten a few arts and adopts, and plan to upload a bunch of things soon. I'd like to find some way to mark them as my own though, to prevent theft, and after asking around, it seems watermarking things you own, but did not draw, is frowned on. Any suggestions?

https://www.furaffinity.net/user/khymira/  Khymira has spent a good deal of time in making some exotic adoptables! They are a good friend of mine that i've known for years, and the money from them could help a good deal as they are in a bad spot right now. At a mere 32 followers myself, I know this likely falls on deaf ears, but every bit helps!

Welp,27 as of today... Don't feel any different, other than noticing the years are starting to go by faster than they used to. Little scared of the big 30 getting closer, but that's a problem for future me :p . Might indulge in some commissions for a self-given B-day present, though references for new characters tend to cost an arm and a leg from artists good at drawing avian/insectoid/amphibious things, though not too bad for dragons and sharks. (Note, an arm and a leg to a college student, only a finger or two for those with a good and steady job).

First journal entry here. Starting to get enough art up to make things worth glancing over, and happy with what I've gotten so far for the most part. As of this post, waiting on a reference sheet for Shiala, and a much delayed (though for good reason) pic of a wasp-gal character I have. It's a difficult struggle of will to avoid just tossing cash at commissions willy-nilly, as I have far too many characters for my own good, and want to eventually have all of them have at least one reference.
Currently, characters I'm in most priority to get done are...
Female avian from Starbound
Herm tigershark brawler from Flexible Survival
Female harpy from the Warcraft games
Herm Half-dragon fighter (red) from Pathfinder

Still a good dozen or so characters I can think of (though many are retired for the most part), and pretty sure I'm forgetting someone important, but it's 4:30 AM and my brain is mush. Not sure if anyone will read this, but still nice to get my thoughts out and leave this as a note to myself.
