Thought about making a post like this after posting for a week or 2 on NG again, because with the fragility and often hostility of most social media sites, there really wasnt a better place to share and find artwork. I initially got back from a 2 year hiatus after some silly routine art projects and then discovered bluesky. Its gotten me more confident to be less of a hermit. Even before I now start seeing that site start crumbling, I figured it was wise to start using NG for archival and general use.
I am refining my style slowly and I be experimenting alot, but dont feel confident enough to put just ANYTHING, still building confidence to show my old stuff.
Regardless, as a creator I do feel my present and future lies here, what that will branch out to is any ones guess, but I do hope to get ambitious with music and game projects.
All I really want from this site is the same great outlet it is now and I enjoy being a part of it, for real this time.
