Since you've watched Bellflower Bunnies? Or since I've drawn them? I'm betting both XD

Mostly the draw, I keep a reasonable bunny watching schedule. It's the only thing that keeps my Russian from compeltely vacating my brain.

*chuckles* Bunnies keep the Russian around aye?  I rather miss the drawing too. I recently did a little chart of how many Bellflower things i've drawn each year and it spiked in 2012 then started to decline a lot. Mostly due to illness, drama, and moving. Slowly coming out of it though.

I fell into this series back in the ancient days of the net when Limewire ruled the seas and made privateering a dangerous task. I got the bunnies in the original French (The cursed language) and later in more palatable Russian. Only a few ever found me in English.

I used to paint and art a lot, that peaked around 2010 and bouts of depression have kept me out of a lot of art for a decade. No idea if it'll ever let up but that's the way things go. Hope the sun shines on you in the new decade; the 2020s are a time for new beginnings.

Privateering?  o____o

Hehe....I ended up finding most of them in English on a French DVD set, then nearly 10 years later a friend found a youtube channel with all of them in english. It had been up for like 4+ years and they only took the channel down a month or two after he found it....go figure >.>

I can relate to your story as well. The years between 2008 - 2012 were my peak years when I drew the most. Here's hoping I can get back to it.  BTW, do you watch Borodante on youtube?  He's from the Ukraine and does over paints of people's digital paintings. This one in particular is interesting because it's actually a furry character and he explains a lot. Seeing other people draw or paint always helps get me fired up about trying it for myself.

Thanks! And here's hoping that the sun shines on you too on this new year!  I hope to change a lot of things in my life for the better!

Aye lad, when I was but a wee lass we didn't have the facetubes and the twitterbooks we have now. If you wanted anything in my tiny remote island of a country you had to hunt it down on the high https! A lot of stuff I have now is not available online anymore.People have gone to streaming, but as the corporate fist closes once more they may again realize the value of keeping a copy of stuff.

I missed your English channel, but Russian sites were much more lax about what they let on. Not so much now with Vladimir closing the Russian net to the world, but suffice to say to this day I still find many characters English voices unusual. (I'll also note that Forest Friends is SO much darker in Russian. Whoever dubbed it had an agenda I think.)

Borodante is actually the source of inspiration for nearly the only real 'art' I manage these days, adding color to stuff. I don't watch them religiously, but I occasionally binge on whatever they've done in the however many months I've been away. My problem is that it's very easy for me to get into the rut of watching without doing. When it comes to pixelwork and writing I can get the energy sometimes, but with stuff like Bor's it ends up a lot like watching sports. 'Mmmn, yes, very skillful. I see.Bet I could use that when I get my butt off this couch one of these months.'

It helps, sunshine-wise that it's summer here. I'm sure that you'll bounce back faster than a rubber bunny in a trampoline factory. You've always struck me as shining little rays of light into the world with your artwork and comments. Certainly you're worth a dozen regular furs.

" People have gone to streaming, but as the corporate fist closes once more they may again realize the value of keeping a copy of stuff.

I have to agree with you there. Every other day it seems I hear about google making some horrible decision to remove videos and channels. I rather miss 2005, before youtube got bought out. Torrents got very popular in that time too.

" I missed your English channel, but Russian sites were much more lax about what they let on. Not so much now with Vladimir closing the Russian net to the world,

Oh dang....Is that because of the Trump impeachment drama that he's doing that?

" but suffice to say to this day I still find many characters English voices unusual. (I'll also note that Forest Friends is SO much darker in Russian. Whoever dubbed it had an agenda I think.)

Fair enough. It is a lot easier to get used to hearing your native language from a character. Sometimes when watching anime though, I'll prefer Japanese voices over English because they put more effort and emotion into it.

Hah!! You just hilighted one of my weaknesses as well: binge watching youtube. It's very addictive and makes you almost feel like you've accomplished something while doing nothing at all. When I do get around to drawing or painting, I usually like to put on some uplifting music. Sad music just...isn't good for my brain :P

Awwwr....^////^ Thank you very much! I try to be positive when I can. *giggles at the thought of a rubber bunny bouncing all around*

I knew the golden age of streaming wouldn't last. People were saying how sites like Netflix meant that piracy was outdated, but I KNEW that eventually individual companies would start to fragment content, hoarding their stuff for their own niche services. Now we get to see just how many streaming sites can survive at once. People won't pay for all of them,

The Russian internet is being more tightly controlled for largely the same reasons as China's; global reach means that dissenting points of view can sneak in and authoritarian countries want to isolate their citizens from doing stuff not allowed. The most obvious cases this year is with Hong Kong but the internet too seems destined to be split in the near future.

I often find I have multiple copies of something I really like because each has its own fun points. (American dubs are usually manly-fied compared to their Japanese counterparts, Kirby is a blast like that. Ad the French... dear lord the French are pervs.) But it can distort your knowledge of something sometimes. (Violet... Violet...who was...oh right! Pirouette!)

I do like me a several-hour marathon of puzzle games and pixelwork. Here I set with over a thousand youtube videos lined up in my 'watch later' folder. I should clear it out, I really should. I get too carried away by music to draw with it on,so I usually go for podcasts. I can (hopefully) learn something while chipping away at a project, as long as it doesn't involve too much actual thought.

"That there is Whippy the rubber bunny. So called 'cause he likes to whip people with his ears when they're not looking. Not to be confused of course with WhippyTAIL... the rat. Does the same thing but from the other end. Also I think there's an artist by that name somewhere."

I thought it was quite silly the way different companies are doing that. If you want to watch Westworld of Watchmen it's gotta be HBO, even if you only want those two shows, which is ridiculous! Then other stuff is on Netflix, but not everything.

Let's see:
Amazon Prime is $13/month
HBO is $15/month
Neflix is $9-$16
Youtube Red is $12

So that's already $56 per month. Adding in the cost of decent internet would put it over $100 per month (at least in the US >.>). Heh, there's no way I'd ever want to keep up with and worry about all that!

Ah yes, Periwinkle's name in French is Agaric. That still sounds odd to me ^^; Japanese animes tend to be very cute quite often, which makes it really enjoyable to watch.

There's another artist named WhippyTail? Awwwwr.....I really thought I checked thoroughly ^^; Well, at least it's shortened to Whippy now.

There's a cold sense to the situation. Netflix showed that a market exists as well as its rough size and profit margins. Lending your content to a third party is always going to be less profitable than selling directly to consumers, so every company with content would prefer to stream that content on their own platform. The downside being size; if you're too teeny nobody's gonna pay for what little you provide.

The 'solution' is for every company to build a streaming platform. Most will fail at great cost, leaving companies no choice but to lend their content to whomever survives. Once competition is down prices can be raised and the broader content base will make it worth it. In essence everyone's hoping Netflix will burn and *they* will become the *new* Netflix. (In the case of companies like Disney this is very possible.) A lot of companies work like this. Uber for example undercuts taxis, being able to raise prices when those companies go out of business. There will soon be a die-off and the survivor will control ALL the streaming.

The French are a cruel people. Certainly you can see in that series that while the world of bunnies is cute it has more than a few dark undertones. (Aside from the killer foxes there are things like the bunnies capturing a clothes-wearing frog as a pet. If you're not the same species attitudes can get alarming quickly.) Their names sound weirder in Russian (Clovers? Not Clover but Clovers? Okay then...) but part of that is because it's a more obvious dub.

I've generally not picked up too many anime,the ones of my youth just keep going on and on (Ash, Luffy, you know *other* protagonists *achieve* stuff? Like, their situations change and things?) But some are just irresistible. (Aaah Hamtaro...) Though of course others... (Ringing Bell, what the hell?!)

Whippytail over on FA also had a few other aliases,like WildOnFire. I think they tried to get free art out of people.They're gone now.

I really like this picture. Periwinkle Bellflower is one of my favourite characters from this TV show, and I really want to see more artwork of him someday in both FurAffinity and InkBunny. I was wondering if you're going to draw more characters of The Bellflower Bunnies in future someday? I even posted concept art of Periwinkle and 11 other characters to hint an upcoming novel series in public someday. It's an official project, yet both soon-to-be legal and practically fan-oriented. I hope you like it. Still I really like Periwinkle and the others, including Lilli, Anthony and Pimpernelle.
