It's probably the best way to be I suppose.
I guess our art trade is off? I don't mind if you say it is, I'd rather just know :3

Well you have been rather nice through all of this bS concerning me, so I'm still willing to out trade. I just got a new scanner. Which character do you want?

I think I'll leave it up to you. I have a page here [link] with links to other descriptions and stuff, see if one of those takes your fancy. There are plenty animal one or humans and even dragons since you don't want to do anthro. If you want to do anyone from my comic in animal form, I have additional references since I've been lazy with their pages.
What would you like me to draw?

Fuck popularity, just draw what you want and be happy, i hate DA artists who only seek ONLINE fame and barely get their shit done IRL. No life drawing no realistic stuff. Just do what you want and dont give a damn about Fame, Pageviews and all that crap, you're a kick ass artist. not a sell off. We'll always respect you as long as you dont lose sight of who you are.
*gives ya a massive hug*

As you're drawing, remember to ATTACK ATTACK ATTAAAAAAAAACK !!!!!

-Mokuu

What you draw is yours to choose, sweets, it always has been and always will be. I'm glad your drawing for yuorself again, you put more heart into your artwork when you do and it shows with not only your progress but the general feel of the pictures as well, they seem happier, more content.

I look forward to seeing what you create! I'm just sad that the idea of needing to be popular by drawing furry work ended up not only burning you out, but causing you stress and sadness with your artwork. I hate the idea of popularity, though in the professional world popularity and Reputation are what makes you money, but they dont bring happiness, only stress. All popular artists I noticed whine and complain about how they feel 'stagnant' or pressured, while the rest of us who sit ont he backburners and just draw, are happier, share close friendships with many individuals, and dont feel like they have to keep appeasing the crowd.

Your an awesome artist, you always have been an always will be. It's good to see you back again and creating and feeling better. *much hugs*

Wow, I reeeally don't see how you aren't more popular Nebby.. I mean you did alot of work for Wolf and.. geeze that work is.. incredible. Perhaps a new medium would lift your spirits higher? that seems to work with some people. Good Luck! Thrilled to have you back and can't wait to see some new art from you.

Here's to your coffin...
May it be built of 100 year old oaks which I will plant tomorrow...

I think I will do pidge, I've had an itching to do a bird of prey. It may take a while cause I want to do something realistic. As for me, perhaps you can do a portrait of my kitties.

I'm at least glad you can finally find the time to draw what you want is important to you... and the way I look at it... Why do you have to have legions of followers anyways? Most of them are just sheep... and their comments are meaningless... I think what you should do is focus on the few that actually stuck with you and your art... develop those relationships... and take strength in knowing that their are people out there that actually appreciate you, and your artwork... and aren't just some casual observers who derive not the slightest meaning from your work...

Basically, who needs popularity, who need them, and who wants all that? If that's all it will ever be?

I dunno though, I guess that's what art has gotten me... It's brought me relationships that I can honestly say I'm completely blessed to have.

You take care now.
