Ramblin' (Wo)man

First off...ho shit this editor is new.

Here, let's have some bits and pieces in a large run-down.

My current obsession at the moment, and an excellent time killer. You start as a young rogue male lion (you get to roll for your design, up to 5 times) who then has to build his own pride of lionesses by courting them, having cubs, and fighting other lions for territory. You can breed all sorts of coat patterns (still more if you spend some real life cash as a donation), send your lionesses hunting, complete quests, and so much more. It's an in-browser sim game with nothing to download.

I've been playing this for two months now and I'm hopelessly addicted. If you want to give it a try you can click here www.lioden.com/territory.php. If you're already there, my player ID is Nashida, #10238, playing as Zelta.

Got one of those too, it's found here: nashida226.livejournal.com/pro…

Not much there yet, stay tuned.

[b]Commissions[/b]

I'm thinking of opening up some transparent PNG commissions. These would be done much in the style of this: www.furaffinity.net/view/10540…; or this www.furaffinity.net/view/10433… . They'd be $5 for one character, $8 for two. Drop me a line if interested.

All my other commissions are still open, but I thought I'd put these ones in the spotlight as they are the fastest for me to do.

The End of an Era...?

This is something thing that's been on my mind for a long while. I hate to have to think about something like this, but I have to.

See, part of the reason I joined Fur Affinity was the community. Most of the time, shortly after uploading work, I get instant feedback from somebody (or two, or five), faves, and a handful of new watches. People actually chat with me there.

Here? Nothing. I've split my work between here and FA, and those works get more attention on FA than they do here. If my message center shows I have a new favorite or comment, ten times out of ten it's for a blasted stamp I made nearly 6 years ago, and took five minutes to make, while something that took far more effort is largely ignored.

It's a little disheartening. I mean, I don't make art really to please anybody but myself, but it'd be nice to know what it is you guys like to see from me. I'm taking my time and energy to share my work with you. I can choose to go elsewhere, and just might, but I chose to stay here.

I'm thinking soon I may make a permanent move from DA to FA, and still upload any TLK work to TLKFAA like I always have. As for what I'd do with the likes of Hzveros, Zolos, and Terra, and any of my human character, I don't know. Sometimes humans make it onto FA, sometimes not. I could argue that the vampires shift into their familiar forms to get by. Regardless, like I said, it's a bit disheartening to not hear from anyone for days, or weeks, then one message blips up and it's for that stamp.

I have to think more about it. Sorry if it seems whiny, but how am I supposed to improve as an artist if I'm not being told what is good about my work and what is bad?

I think that's it for now, so stay tuned.
