shift, arrow keys, click ___________________________________________ I wanted to make one last art-related post before 2025 came to a close, though I guess now I'm making an art-related post to start off the year of 2026. As you can probably tell, my motivation has hit a drought since July of 2025, so I haven't created new OC refs since. That much is still true. I have no idea what caused the drought nor why I am still stuck in a motivation choke-hold. Instead, I added onto pre-existing refs to account for updated outfits, since adding to something existent is way easier on my motivation - or lack thereof - than creating something completely new. I finally decided to account for the odd discrepancy among my characters - specifically, relating to clothing. I figured it no longer made sense that some characters had fully complete outfits, while others had at most a sweater or an accessory, or just downright nothing at all. Most furry designs typically follow the pattern of having fragmented outfits, but I've decided to move past said common practice, in favor of logic. Was this decision pushed due to Skye and Fennix? Mostly. So I went back and drew over existent refs. Now, pretty much all of my characters have complete outfits, with the only exceptions being characters who don't need any, such as robotic or abiotic characters, or characters who literally can't wear any, like Sprinter or Stoppit. The only exceptions to this criteria were my Goo/Raytraxian OCs, who technically were fine as-is, but I wanted to spice up their designs a little. Though, Neo and Kimi were left out. It's hard to dress slime or ice cream... No major design changes otherwise, aside from Exo and Jasmine receiving minor anatomy changes - Exo to have more parity with modern-day Saturn Raytraxians, and Jasmine due to lore and age. Aside from that, apologies to the 2 maybe 3 people who still look at my profile for the gap of inactivity. I'm trying to get to the bottom of my motivation problem. Along with that, a lot of my activity has also been occurring off-site...simply due to just generally aging-up across the board. Here's to hoping 2026 will be my year! ... Oh Wait it is, isn't it?
The big question is, should I go back on each and every ref batch and apply the new designs to them, or leave them as the old designs, before outfit updates? ___________________________________________ Music: Prepare (instrumental) - FNF Vs. Dave: DIMENSIONAL DEEP-END
