@dragoness129: Yes, I love D&D! I was just doing a campaign with a Tiefling Warlock that was a lot of fun.


@Amber Lynne: I'm too much of a geezer to have an Instagram. I don't even use Facebook either, hahaha. Social media, what's that? Can you eat it?

@TeaTales: I love D&D too! I haven't listened to Critical Role yet, though I like The Adventure Zone and Thrilling Intent. My last D&D group kind of collapsed due to the former DM pulling some uh... Well. Burned bridges, and all that. Have you tried using Roll20 to find/connect a group? And as for books... I might know a place.

@Totalanimefan: They're such good kitties. I hope they get along soon, Witten was very lonely before and we're hoping Buddy will be a nice companion, as they're both gentle and anxious types.


@ChiffonOrange: Breakfast? What part of the world are you in? Or is it just a flipped nocturnal schedule. x)


@Wildfire: For sure. It'd be nice if they started paying more attention to fostering the communities that support them instead of gouging profit from the people who liked their work. Which is why this place seems so promising!


@dragoness129: Ah, thank you very much! I made the art myself. And the username too, though it's a kind of reference. x) Loving the vibe of your avatar, for sure!

@Amber Lynne: I have SO many kitty pictures. I am an absolute cat parent, I have dozens of photos saved to my phone. I posted a bunch on this thread if you're interested!

Also, if anyone's interested in peeking on a commission I'm working on...

@Totalanimefan: Good job, I'm proud of you! It's really hard to clean sometimes. A whole hour is really impressive.

Ah, I should clean too... But I want to play more with the kitties...

@Wildfire: Yeah, I'm certainly not that demographic. More's the pity. As long as the majority of people stay kind and welcoming I'll probably stick around. x) I like the art style of the avatars more than other places, for sure.

@ChiffonOrange: Hehehe. I think I will. x) How're you doing?


@Totalanimefan: Hello there! Welcome back, eheheh. I'm doing great today. Overcoming a bit of self-esteem lows and art block through sheer determination. How about you, how're you doing today?

Very Important Buddy Update:
Posted in Making Friends and Influencing People Posted 5 years ago
Hello everyone. The cats have met and they are both Baffled.


The boy is very good and sweet, but they are both nervous so we're spoiling them with treats and attention.

@Chiffonorange: Oh, would you prefer to be Chiffon? ...Or Chi? hehehe. That one sounds cute too. I'm having a great day so far, and I hope you are as well.


@Wildfire: ;) I wasn't sure I would, to be honest. A lot of forum/avatar sites I've tried have just been... ... ... ...Sigh. But I have hopes for this one, so we'll see how it goes. It helps that everyone is just so darn friendly and helpful.


@Tsundererra: Nice to meet you too. Ah, your avatar is very cute as well~. I love all the candies! Very sweet. B)


@Amber Lynne: Haha, I know what you mean. I used to be able to do several pages in a day, and now I'm lucky to finish one a week on time...Part of it is age, part of it illness, and part of it just... Mood, I guess? Sometimes I have to force myself to keep drawing and then I start wanting to draw again the more I get back into it.

As for starting comics, the best way to start is to fail a few times. x) Which sounds weird, but I started (and deleted) like, ten comics before landing on my current running one! Sometimes you just have to get the ideas out of your head, and sometimes starting them is easier than you think once you get over the big mental hurdle of Just Doing It™️.

And yes, I did sleep well, thank you. I even had a light nap! Mostly been spoiling the new cat, observing his interactions with the other cat, and... Being dragged into Catan...

...So many sheep...

@sunny: Thank you, and I really love your avatar's hair! Gotta love the pastel rainbows.

His name is Buddy. That was the name he had on the adoption papers, and we're keeping it because it fits. He's very sweet and friendly, just a laid-back little guy, so he's gonna be our little Buddy.


Witten, our current cat, is a gremlin but she's sweet too. Hopefully they hit it off without too much fuss. (Mostly, she has anxiety and is nervous around new cats, but that's alleviated when said cats are friendly. Fingers crossed!)

Good morning everyone! I am adopting a cat today (just a couple hours!) and am very excited. He is a special needs boy who is very sweet. My current cat doesn't know why we're excited, and boy is she going to be surprised later. Huhuhu.

@Amber Lynne: I love them, those character designs are all super cute. x) I wish I could plan like that, when I started my comic I just had an Idea™️ and not much else, hahaha. Gumption, maybe? Er... That's kind of still the case. Honestly. Like, 9 years later...


@ChiffonOrange: A wandering orange appears. Thank you for stopping by! And for the compliment. Your avatar is very cute~!

@Pachi: Glad you like it, it's my thanks for stopping by to chat. x)

@Wildfire: Speaking of cute avatars, very neat and active design for yours! I've noticed most people being friendly so far, it's a nice and welcome change for sure. x) It's the first time I've met so many people so quickly without offering free art up front, honestly...

And it is a good book! x) You have excellent taste, as foretold by the very cool outfit.
Posted in Making Friends and Influencing People Posted 5 years ago
I'm heading to bed for now and will probably... Respond to everyone who talks to me once I wake up. If anyone does. x) Thank you all for stopping by, you've all been very kind!

Goodnight, folks!

@Totalanimefan: So.. So tempting. ;_; I'm a collector type, I like having All The Things. In every color available. And the outfits on this site are really just too cute, it's unbearable!


@Amber Lynne: How can I resist your demands?! My comic is here, how about yours? x)
Posted in Making Friends and Influencing People Posted 5 years ago
@Totalanimefan: Good gracious, that's a generous policy of yours! :0!! That's incredibly kind and wonderful of you. I'll keep it in mind if I find myself struggling!

That economy isn't too bad at all, that's a relief. Maybe I can reach Peak Fashion after all. x)


@Amber Lynne: Oh, that's a big same here. I have this week's page done for my own comic, but I have definitely been. Slacking. Hahaaha. I feel so bad, but my mentality just hasn't been there lately...
Posted in Making Friends and Influencing People Posted 5 years ago
@Amber Lynne: Considering going to bed now that it's uh... 3 AM. Haha, whoops. But then tomorrow! Tomorrow I am adopting a new cat, and I am very excited! He's a special needs boy and very sweet.

...I'm also doing a bit of shopping in the City Rack for uh. Pants, actually. x)

How about yourself? Keeping busy?

@inatlaka: Goodnight, rest well. Thank you for stopping by, and for your generosity!


@Amber Lynne: It shows, and it's wonderful. x) It's so nice to meet fellow art hoarders, hehehe!
Posted in Making Friends and Influencing People Posted 5 years ago
@Amber Lynne: AH. SO MUCH ART. Time to spend a few hours looking at all of them, goodness that's quite a collection. You've really worked hard!

Ah, and the artists did too of course. Heheh.


@Totalanimefan: I've noticed! It's really nice seeing lovely clothes in the common shop and not just having anything that looks halfway decent being reserved for cash money purchases... Cough cough not naming names or pointing fingers. Mmhm.

I haven't really looked around to see what the economy is like though... I suppose I'm still a little scared to see how many zeroes stand between me and fashion, haha.
