Getting back into posting

It's been a WHILE since I've posted here, or anywhere really. The past couple of years I've been taking time to myself to deal with family related stress and attempt to learn some new skills and assist a friend with an indie game project. I've been dabbling in 3D modeling, designing characters for a couple of games, and living as a full time carer for my grandparents, and playing a bunch of games.

Part of the reason I haven't had much of an online presence is just down to how things currently are in social media. There are very few platforms out there which suit my needs and everything seems to be on Twitter now, and I really don't want to have to use that platform on principal if I can help it.

Lately, I've had the desire to start sharing and posting again. For anyone who might have been waiting for updates on comics or series I've started and never finished, I'm sorry for that. Many of these were just concepts, and I wasn't able to continue them for one reason or another.

One series that I DO hope to refine and continue though, is Ruff & Randy. I'll be looking to post updates and worldbuilding sketches on that soon. The previous comic I drafted for R&R could be considered sort of like a pilot. I don't think I'll be using the exact same story going forward, but the general thematic are still going to be the same.

This site seems pretty accepting, so while it isn't the most highly-populated, at least it's friendly!

Always a pleasure to hear from you! Would love to see what you come up with~
My PMDU days were some of the most fun and creative times I can remember. Everything you make seems to encourage me to keep drawing, too, so no matter what you’re working on I’m looking forward to it!

Glad to see you back! Baraag/Pawoo are twitter-esque, if you wanted to look into them, but posting here would be welcome too <3

Happy to hear that you are safe... also would that game project be Kings Of Hell by any chance?

I gotta edit what I posted here to follow up on it: I did some VERY EARLY work on KoH and contributed to some of the character designs, but I'm not actually involved with the project further from this point on. Got laid off, unfortunately. The developer didn't want associations to get messy, which sucks but that's how it goes. If I get to talk about games I'm working on, it'll most likely be a different alias. If you see it, you'll see it. (thanks for the support anyway!)

That's sad, still looking forward to you posting more stuff. Though I'm really hoping for some writing as well. Still excited about wanting to see the ending/.continuation of Elite Guild Story and possibly something involving that Cress the Moon Squirrel spirit you have.

I am glad to hear that you have been doing well and are finally going to show us more of your art again. This is probably going to sound rather odd or so but I am very happy to hear you are back.
I have been following your progress for a very long long time now and I always admired and found inspiration in your work.
While I am embarrassed about writing this I needed it off my chest. You are a very skilled artist and I enjoy your work a lot. Thank you for continuing

Nice to see you around.
Too many of you inspirational people have been away or otherwise gone in recent years =/
I don't mean that as pressure, you should do what you do, just trying to say anything you post is appreciated :3
(and dont be afraid to post spur-of-the-moment random things, after all your Link photographing the dog guards was one of the epic examples)

Few platforms you say?

First, Pixiv basically is like a Japanese Inkbunny, I'd say it's good for well connected furs who enjoy your art

For getting newer followers, telegram could be the way due to it being easy to forward or just even post on a channel, send the full image even without any description at all

Second, Why not start a new discord server? Have friends to moderate it if you even need to

I've given all those options a try. I don't like pixiv because being Japanese, it legally requires you to censor porn, which kind of defeats the purpose of drawing it at all for me. Then there's telegram, which I do use to keep up with some friends, but isn't exactly that great for hosting or posting art since it's like discord, so you can't really use it as a gallery. Discord server, I'd rather just join others rather than making my own, since discord doesn't technically allow cub art either. I might do it in the future if I start a big project or something.

I'm amazed I managed to track you down. ^^ Just wanted to say that I'm glad to see you still alive and kicking and that you were a huge inspiration to me when I was a child. You were one of the first furry animators I ever saw with your Dendyn Dynasties video. Sad that it never went anywhere, but I understand changing interests over time. Just happy to see that you're still around. Far too many of the "old guard" have vanished into the ether never to be seen again.

TL;DR
You were an absolute inspiration and I wish you nothing but happiness and luck in your future endeavors.

You got the wrong guy, that's Ryanide you're thinking of, and his art style was kind of formative for me as well back in the day. I'm surprised people still get us mixed up, I think my newer work looks quite different to my older stuff where it was more directly inspired by early 2000s flash furry art styles.

I'm sorry, but who is Ryanide? From what I scavenged, he hasn't posted since 2011 on deviantart.

He was a flash animator active around when I first started posting my art on FA a long time ago. I was influenced by his work but not so much anymore these days. People seemed to think we were somehow related or the same person, but I don't want to be associated with 'wholesome' furry artists now.

Like Blitzdrachin?

tbh, I could only say one thing: putting all the previously-free NSFW art behind a patreon paywall exclusive is scummy.

To be honest, if I never typed "ampharos" on the tags, I would be none the wiser of finding you and your art.
