RyuuLight

I won't bore anybody left to hear this. Not surprised if this is ignored. 

But I am once again attempting to dust this off and work on drawing more. I have been drawing a bit again lately. It's still slow going and not perfect. But, it is somewhat successful.

Between here, and furaffinity (under the same username) I will attempt to keep this up.

Short...so I don't sound like a broken record more than I already am.

Yeah. As the header says. I have a FurAffinity account now. Technically, I've had it since 2015. At least, according to the account timeline. I think I made it to find some artists that said they also had a FA account. And FurAffinity seems to not let you see many accounts unless you have one yourself. I have no intention of making a permanent move to it or anything. Like Tumblr, I am planning on using it as a supplementary account. Almost anything I post there will also be posted here. No. I am NOT putting NSFW stuff there. I am not into that. I don't judge or care if you are, but don't expect anything like that out of me. 

Yes, I am a furry. No, nothing about me or my interests changed. Learning that a furry is someone who like anthropomorphism was a bit confusing at first. I thought it meant only being into full anthro, like Zootopia. Until, I found out that it also includes animals that simply talk or whatever, like the Lion King. That made things much clearer for me. I a very much on the Lion King end of the scale for anthropomorphism. Even fantasy animals fall in line with that Zootopia to Lion King scale. All my dragons and such are in the Lion King side of the things. So, nothing has changed. In fact, looing back at my old account, and at people I used to be close internet friends with back in the day, many of them are furries and I role played with my oldest character and old dragonsona, Delbin. Hell! I even used the word fursona! I was barely a teen back then, and the interent wasnt nearly as expansive and easy access as it is now, so I had no idea that that word was for the fandom. I really was an idiot back then lol

I am rambling. Sorry. If you don't like me saying I'm a furry, fine. That's like most people. I will say, that like those people, I thought that the fandom was only sexual. So glad to find out that isn't true. It's like me being a brony. Many people think we are pedophiles into bestiality. Hell no! The people who are into "clopping" are confined into a minority. Furries are the same, I found out. That's why you will never have to worry about me making NSFW stuff on FA. 

Bottom line, the FurAffinity account is under the same name as here: RyuuLight. If you want, feel free to find me there. 

Yeah. So another year and change goes by with little to now updates. big surprise. But, this time, I really am making an effort to change that. Not that anyone still pays any attention to this page. Don't blame you. I've been so non-existent...

Anyway, I finally have a new digital drawing tool. A new laptop. My old Mac was so old and outdated it couldnt handle much. And my Android tablet refused to get any updates thanks to Samsung...that I basically couldnt do much. And I've been so out of drawing at all, that even pencil art has been difficult. The new laptop is helping. So far, I put Sketchbook on it. I plan to get more on it, but Im still so out of drawing, that even simple sketches are hard to do. SOmething that used to take me an hour, takes me at least double the time. Pathetic. Looking at past art over the years is depressing, cuz I havent been able to do anything like that in a long time.

Its not just lack of reliable tools that caused the severe slip in drawing. Things in real life have severely impacted everything. I wont talk about it. I dont want pity, nor do i want to sound like a kid whining for attention. Nor am i passing blame to anything. Its my problems, Im trying to fix them.

Thats enough of that. I've also opened a furaffinity account. Not expecting much with it. Nothing even there yet. Its under the same username as here. Not everything posted here will be there. Just things that I guess can count as furry art i guess.

well...umm....i guess its been just about a year and a half since i updated my journal. makes this account look completely dead.

well, im not dead. though, for most of that time, i might as well have been. ive been around, just not posting. during this entire time ive had some real life happen, including the desire to draw nearly die for good. not trying to be emo or dramatic. just saying that i didnt stop posting out of boredom of DA or anything. i still have severe difficulties drawing anything worthwhile. some sketches here and there. most of which ARE pretty emo, so i doubt ill ever post them. i think a couple wound up on my tumblr, but most of them are on my tablet. which is also a problem. aside from not drawing anything worth posting, my samsung tablet is giving me severe technical frustrations. its so out of date that sketchbook will not work properly on it. the tablet i bought was a few months too old for a single official update. they came out with the new one not long after i bought mine so they i guess said fuck that old tablet. so im trying to see about either updating the mod i have on it (which is also out of date) or just sucking up and buying a windows surface/ipad, or SOMETHING with a stencil designed for drawing. though i dont like how douche apple has become lately, i could care less about the whole apple/windows war. i will decide based on my needs.

but thats just a tangent. my point is, i am slowly trying to work my way back into drawing. i do see, that i have gained a few new watchers despite my lack of stable new content. for you guys, i just ask for patience. i am slow, as this is a hobby and not a career. but i will try harder to post something when i can.

If anyone if worried about that rant the other day, i want to clarify something. im not giving up forever. i just need a break for right now. i dont know how long it will be. short or long. 

i have a lot going on right now and everything is showing everytime i try to draw. whether i sketch or do something serious. i have so many unfinished things on my tablet saved and half of them are destined to stay that way. there is one though i have every intention of one day finishing. its a massive file and my tablet has a hard time managing the size of it as it is. i can and will move it to my laptop which does have the power to handle it. but long story short, my OS cant get the latest sketchbook so we had to bootcamp it to get it. so, once i feel up to it, i will try to finish it and hopefully if people react well, i might make it a print. who knows. i do want to get some money doing this.

i was very close at opening up simple commissions to do peoples pony OCs as a way to start, (cuz even at my peak i still suck at complex scenery to guarantee the quality of the final product) but that fell through at the moment...

long story short, i will still be around. just no new stuff at the moment.
