THAT’S ALL FOLKS! (Uploads Finished, and What’s Next!)

by Tremaine

As of this morning, August 24th, I am done uploading all of my old art to this account! As I am retiring my old fursona, my Tremaine account will now be a static account. He was great as an “ideals” fursona; I feel I’ve achieved most of the goals I’ve aspired to since I made him!

I’ll only be uploading stuff to my

ArrJaySketch

and

ArrJayAfterDork

accounts! Please give a follow if you want to see new art from me! Bear with me, as my skills have decayed a bit from lack of use, so I’m learning stuff all over again!

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for your support! The amount of comments and favorites have been utterly overwhelming! I read each and every one, and they all mean so much to me! It’s hard to keep up with comments across four sites (FurAffinity, InkBunny, SoFurry, and Weasyl)! So if I didn’t reply, please don’t take it the wrong way; I just didn’t have the time, and depending on the day, I didn’t have the energy! Being that I uploaded at least 20 pieces each day, if I didn’t get a chance to reply to old comments they quickly get buried.

Everyone’s support made me extremely happy! I feel warm, and fuzzy, and loved, and this makes me want to create new art for you all. I’m so excited! I’m so excited that you’re all having fun! This, THIS is what I really wanted when I uploaded my art!

WATCHES/FAVES/COMMENTS
Keep watching, or unwatch if you like! There won’t be anything new posted. (Maybe. Maaaaybe I might have a surprise!)

Fave or comment on pieces if you like! The art isn’t going anywhere! Comment on new stuff, old stuff, or whatever! If you really love a piece, I’d love to hear about it! So if you see art you like years after this journal is posted, go say something! I’ll still be keeping an eye on my accounts!

If you have a story about how my art has helped you or inspired you, I’d love to hear about it!

WHY I WAS RE-POSTING ART:
In 2012, I deleted all of my art online because I was suffering from severe depression, but didn’t know it. I thought I was burnt out on the fandom, but I honestly was burnt out on life. I hated my art, my job, and my whole life, really. I just didn’t know what depression looked like.

Many times, I was mere moments away from deleting all my artwork and destroying all my art pieces.

Now, I have the best physical and mental health I’ve ever experienced my whole life! Years later, I realized that I’ve felt incredibly sad when someone deletes a thing I love from the Internet. It’s disappointing to not be able to share an awesome thing with others! While I hated my art in the worst of my depression, I realized that my feelings were NOT how others felt. Others probably really missed my artwork, like I missed some of my favorite stuff! So I started posting, and I’ve never been so happy to be proven exactly right my whole life! Seriously, big kudos to YOU ALL! :D

SELLING OLD ART PIECES?
I am not selling any of my old art pieces at this time. A lot of pieces of greatly degraded over time, and I will not sell art in poor condition. A great deal of pieces I’ve posted were already scanned in 2009, and I haven’t looked at them since. Some were already in poor condition back then, and some I am sure have only gotten worse over time.

Should I decide to sell my old art in the future, I will go through old pieces one-by-one to check the quality and whether I think it’s worthy to sell.

I’ve uploaded 1,479 pieces to my gallery. As you can imagine, this would be an immense project in and of itself; right now, I’m very tired of uploading 20 pieces of art a day. I don’t want to sort through my collection right now.

Someday, I’ll consider it. Right now, I am focusing on drawing for myself, scraping off my rust, and having fun with my art again!

COLORING OLD PIECES?
You are more than welcome to color any piece I uploaded! If you can, probably stay away from commissioned black and white pieces, unless you are very sure you understand what color palette the character(s) have. If you’re just coloring my characters, have a blast! I don’t mind how skilled you are. As long as you are having fun, give me credit (“Tremaine” or “Tremaine H. Fox”, but please DO NOT use my real name), and let me see the finished product, go for it!

FAN ART/FAN FICTION?
You are absolutely more than welcome to draw fan art! Skill level doesn’t matter; just have fun!

Same for fan fiction! I used to be super protective of my characters, but I guess drawing fan art and reading fan fiction of cartoons made me re-evaluate my stance over the years! (Some of the best stories I ever read have been fan fiction!)

REQUESTS/TRADES/COMMISSIONS?
I never take requests!

You should check my current accounts,

ArrJaySketch

and :

ArrJayAfterDork

for my current status! I am hoping I’ll feel like taking commissions once I can turn out a finished product quickly and on-demand. I will not take commissions unless I feel I can do the work quickly, reliably, and with acceptable quality!

WHY PONIES ON THE NEW ACCOUNTS?
I’ve always been a fan of My Little Pony since the 80s! I’m really happy I can share that part of myself now!

THANK YOU!!
Thank you all SO MUCH!!

What most amazes me about this entire upload is that I think there were very few pieces I'd never seen before, from some of the portfolio packs.

I'm really tempted to run an image diff on these uploads and my old archives and see how many duplicates there are. I'm a bit of an image hoarder.

@ rnixon

Ha! It's great that you did see a few new pieces! That's always a bit of a treat! :D

The image sizes of course will be much larger, and I removed my real name from all of my earlier work. I wish I hadn't posted with my real name, ever, as it's proven to be more of a hassle than it's been worth. So, not sure if the image diff is smart enough to tell the similarities and differences apart!

Image size isn't a problem in general, though images much past 4000x4000 require serious RAM to crunch. I had to loosen the strictness of the filter due to the signature changes, and it still didn't catch a couple that originally had big black typed credits, but something like 90% matched!

Edit: The software I'm using is VisiPics, which is pretty good but kind of cranky on modern Windows.

And it's 32 bit, so if your data set pushes past 4 gigs (not 4 gigs of pics, 4 gigs of hash data) it crashes. Alas.

Too bad, I'll be missing my daily art flood from you but I did add the other two accounts to my watch list.
