Know what? I'm not going to finish it...

Why?

The usual reasons, mostly, but also because FA has me uncomfortable with my own art.
Let it be clear I'm NOT saying FA is the reason I'm not finishing this comic, but FA has had some bearing on my decision.
That is, my art is terrible as it is---it takes a lot of willpower just to DRAW these days, yet alone upload any of it. Now you compound that with anxiety about its content (which several watchers already consider prudish) and ANY semblance of fun I might derive from an upload such as this goes straight to Hell.

TL;DR: I'm not going to feel worse about my art than I already do

But given this is likely the *last drawing I'll do this month, I may as well show what I made.

*there's a VERY high chance there'll be no art for Christmas, but we'll see.

GENE: "It's great you're spending the weekend with me, Tasli! Now you'll see the Water Pet really does come alive at bathtime!"

TASLI (riffling through drawer): "Yeah, yeah---hey, you got any of those little flower-shaped soaps?"

/Gene sees the water pet come to life behind Tasli's back/

/The mischievous water pet slaps Tasli's bottom/

TASLI (turning to face Gene; angry): "You're my best friend, Gene, but there are limits!"

GENE: "It wasn't me, Tasli!"

GENE: "It was that stupid Water Pet trying to turn us against each other---You gotta believe me, Tasli! Have I ever lied to you before!?"

TASLI: ".....No"

/cubs in tub/

GENE (poking the inanimate water pet plush): /grumbling/

TASLI (scrubbing his back): "It's ok, Gene---I choose to believe that YOU believe the Water Pet is alive"

...I think that rubber duck is alive, too! D:

No pencil

On a more serious note: I don't advise racking yourself with guilt over drawings.

" it takes a lot of willpower just to DRAW these days, yet alone upload any of it

I know that feeling all too well... It's dark, cold, I can't sleep well, I'm sore all over and getting fat despite all efforts. There's even one word for it: "Autumn". :/

Jokes aside, after finishing any month-long drawing event (ArtFight in July and Inktober in October) I usually become lazy and stop drawing for a week. Then I try to doodle something and not only am unsatisfied with the result, but often even starting that doodle is like pulling teeth - there's thousand more things I'd rather do at the moment, even if I know that's not actually true.

I guess for me (probably not for you, or anyone else though) the only way would be treat drawing more like a work, with daily schedule (for me that helps, even if I have no idea what to draw for an Inktober prompt whan I have that "you should draw something, and in the end I may not draw something I like, but I still draw and keep the momentum going, especially if the next day prompts are easier).

I don't even know why I am writing this, I'm sure neither you nor your other watchers are interested in reading those, why would you? I'm just a random guy on the Internet who draws worse than Chippy, and since Chippy says he's not a good artist, then that must mean I'm even worse.

Anyway, to not end on a bummer coda - very nice! Story makes sense and it's easy to read even without the words put on the page. Characters are cute and mischievous as always (especially the Water Pet), and the duck expression is priceless :) But then again, whadda I know, and you'd probably not care about my opinion anyway.

sigh... and I was so close not to end on a bummer note... :(

Your art isn't worse than mine. I gave very thought-out examples using Miss Ice Cream's art why my line art is objectively worse than that of most people's.

You know, I would think that you would simply provide all your incomplete works to FA, then complete them and put them on here. That'll show 'em. :3

Now that that's outta me... all the hearts you use to create the biggest "cover up" of the century is how much I love this little comic. :)

I never thought I'd see the day that Tasli would end up getting his...
... mind made up and "believing" Gene about his water pet fascination.I would like to "believe" that their long-term friendship helped Tasli tame his sour feelings about what Gene may or may not have done to him.

Please don't do this to yourself, please don't let the prudes at FA get to you! You shouldn't take their restrictions so personally. You have this wonderful site where you can get away with some pretty intense art! As long you as you rate it appropriately and follow a few guidelines you can ignore any nay-sayers! :-)

Also, as long as it doesn't take on unhealthy proportions, having a bit of fun with innuendos is a perfectly fine way to let off some steam and have some fun. There's no shame in that. :-)

It's almost unheard-of these days that I'll post art here that I cannot upload anywhere else. There are exceptions (like, I cannot post art I purchased from thrift stores here, nor anything I've taken photos of), but that's a subtopic.

Well, if it helps, I drew a Timmy cartoon not long ago, but I cannot upload that one anywhere (it's 'clean' but human-shape has gotten harder to publish---I know Pixiv exists, but if I have to rely on a hardcore porn site to upload my art, then clearly 'I' have done something wrong (at least, it's easier to believe that than the idea the world has let ME down, as if society was ever expected to adhere in any way to my standards).

If Pixiv doesn't contain anything illegal, you stay away from anything illegal and neither create it yourself you are not doing anything wrong even if most people wouldn't appreciate what you created. In short as long as isn't illegal you draw what ever the heck you like, no matter how violent or disgusting, as long as you take reasonable measures to prevent people who aren't into it won't stumble across it. If you don't want to deal with people bothering you because they are too stupid to take responsibility for the fact they were the ones who decided to browse a site that may host porn you could use a friends-only setting for your art. In fact why not do that and then add those who you trust to show your art?

Obviously. I am trying to make do with what you write here. Unless there are things you aren't telling or explaining, that was all I got to say. Who is your target audience and what if anything do you expect from them?
IceAgeChippies

Your use of 'target' implies an objective.

IceAgeChippies

Mostly, yes.

"You're angry at all the wrong reasons. You're angry that people buying your stuff for cheap ebay positive feedbacks, you projected your self loathing to your drawing and got some amusement selling them online. Then when people actually buy your art for legit reason, you're angry that people actually like the projection of your self loathing. You keep on drawing because it's like flogging yourself but rather than physical pain, it's mental pain"

^True, maybe? I dunno.

Truth be told, the absence of a pencil makes me sad, but not
as sad as not having one of your cute cartoons finished.
They are truly one of the highlights on IB right now, but I
totally understand your decision. I will, however, hold on to hope that
you finish this at some point and that we get a cute Christmas
drawing this season. Take care and stay safe IAC. :)

Honestly though, these are adorable. This is exactly what I think of when I imagine a sweet, lighthearted, feel-good furry comic. As for the haters and the people who give you a hard time - bro (lady bro?), I'm with you there. I'm an AI "artist" myself so I get my fair share of hate. I know what you're dealing with is a bit different, but all I can say is that the only thing you can do about the craziness and all that is rise above it. There's nothing else to be done, so I've found it best to just take a deep breath and move on.

Love your work. Sorry you're feeling down about it :(

No one should feel bad about their art. Myself, I love your drawing style and your capture of emotion, particularly happiness and joy. I hope things are better for you soon.
