Description Gift Art for Happy early birthday!!  don´t quite know when your actual birthday is..   It´s your gorgous who is also one of my favorite birds in the game
 
After reading about that drama you´ve had to deal with I realized that even though you´re not as present in the group as admins, you´re the one fighting the battles in the background without members really knowing. So here a small thank you for managing the group and inventing such an awesome species I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing birthday!


Comments and feedback are much appreciated! I feel like there is room for improvement but I´m not sure how to do that c:

Aaah, I love the colors on this bird~! They're glowing like it's standing in ray of sunlight.
The eye looks very striking as well, and nice job on the markings around it.
Just all around a beautiful portrait.

You can really tell you worked on them.  Your detail is really awesome

Real life likes to really get in the way of fun  Kitties also get in the way of fun, but at least they are fun too. 

Take your time and let me know if you need any information.

yeah that´s life, but it´s also better than having nothing to do at all I´ve got a deadline on two other images after that or inbetween I´ll start with your commission. Sometimes there´s rare opportunities you just gotta take, sorry about the delay. But after that I´ll focus more on commission, drawing birds just doesn´t make me happy that much. While it´s fun it´s frustrating if you put a ton of work into something and get zero attention while somebody else draws something rushed and is praised for it.
Also I really wana work more on my humanoid anatomy

I have noticed that the groups with art points and such seem to often take it for granted when the people post pictures for them. It also seems you get 'celebrities' that get all the attention.

Sad to say, but i think I understand all the journals of people saying they are leaving.

If you want more humanoids I certainly have refs I need made, and a few scene ideas.

Soma is telling me to go to bed now.

Sadly you´re right. What´s most frustrating is that there´s artists who do utterly rushed art but who have a great sense of composing images so they look flashy and attract a ton of views. Whereas detailed work usually gets ignored.

But I am trying to focus more on my own personal goals as an artist and not care as much if I`m popular or not

That does seem to be a big medium in art of any kind.   Figuring what sells vs what you like.    

You don't ignore what people want, but at the same time you can't trap yourself in one element and not improve in others.   

If you aren't planning on just drawing stryx your whole life moving on may be the right descision.  Or at least cutting back to those who pay the best in money AND experience.

Yeah, it´s hard to find good balance. Also being able to sell yourself well is more important than skills and talent sadly.

Well, I´m just gona take a break off drawing birds. Overall it is a game and it does bring me joy in a way that only a game can. Since I don´t have time for video games it´s a good alternative, sometimes it´s just hard not to lose track and envy others.
(not to mention that the entire breeding system is quite similar to gambling which can be addictive )

Gambling    Quite addictive and sneaks up on you in many forms.  

Drawing games are more productive than holding a joy stick.  Though in my case they have a similiar problem.

Sounds like you got an attention-starving fluffball that doens´t even look all that comfortable for Soma, yet he still seems to enjoy it.

Cats can be comfortable in the wierdest poses.  Seriously.  It's supernatural I tell you.

You would think I spoiled him or something.  Seriously, he's not very independant.

maybe if we were as flexible and furry we could do the same xD

Maybe it´s because of his harsh childhood that he really appreciates the comfort of your home. Unlike other cats he knows that the feral life ain´t easy.

Steven said if cats could write he would make a book telling all feral cats the joys of being kidnapped by humans LOL

He certainly doesn't live up to his feral heritage, that's for sure.  He loves him some cuddles.  And the bed, and the free feeding, and the canned food treats, and the toys, and the nip.

Wow this is gorgeous, first of all that stryx has a gorgeous color pallete that you really brought to life. Secondly? I love the way the feathers near the eyes look almost like scales, which is fitting
