if it isn't really obvious already, i've basically not posted. at all. for maybe a year. it's mostly because of my thumb injury, which stopped me from drawing, but then because i've moved on. i learned how to draw humanoids, and my cat artstyle itself has evolved. so yeah. i've barely been active before i unshared all my projects and left. on deviantart, i made a new account and started over. i made some money, but not enough to support an average person. scratch has been a horrible website so far. from what i can gather, it has begun using ai. people steal and trace art. some of my friends have gone offline. it's not fun anymore. i still have an account i made when i was six years old. it's under a different username, whatever, and i mean it was pretty okay. i connected with friends i made abroad. but they left, too. i'm not comfortable sharing what my new 'identity' is, because i need to turn over a new leaf. more and more i've becoome more insecure about drawing cats, fearing people's judgement about "ugh furries" (that's not what i think). you won't find this username on any other platform. this was an account i made multiple years ago, barely did anything on, and quit later. art is very stable for me, i've made new friends and found a new community. but my parents disapprove. they say that art will not make me money when i'm older, and art will not get me anywhere. so i guess, goodbye. goodbye to the few people i made friends with here. you probably don't remember me, and maybe you've already gone.
