I know I haven't uploaded here regularly in a long time. It's not much of a surprise that once AI "art" became prevalent, I pretty much abandoned this place altogether. Seeing a site that I once truly loved flooded and besieged by AI garbage hurts. But... I may start posting here again. Apologies beforehand, though, if there's a big juicy watermark on everything going forward, lol. Deviantart still has a lot of traffic and reach--something that as a freelance artist is hard to ignore. I have been improving behind the scenes, though. My current gallery doesn't reflect my real body of work. I still have a lot of growing to do, art-wise, but I've been experimenting with new techniques and improving skills since I've been gone. My Twitter/X page has a fair bit on it, but that's... well, Twitter/X is a dumpster fire these days, too, and I don't find myself visiting that place very often anymore--especially to post art. However, I do have a Bluesky account: same name as here and everywhere

Good god. I think I know why I avoid drawing birds. No, not really; I like drawing birds. But feathers take so much more time than scales. o_____o I have been working on this for hours, and I have barely gotten the head and neck done. Feathers. Despite the lengthy time span, though, it's going amazingly~ I can't wait to show you guys the finished bit. Gonna be so much better than the abstracty silhouettey one. You have no idea. @_@ But feathers. FEATHERS. SO MANY FEATHERS. OH LAWD.
