Sort of 'maybe' goodbye 👋 - "Where's your art gone?"
Posted 10 months agoJust putting down some thoughts whilst I clean-up a little around here.
I'm loosely planning on moving to a brand new account in the future, though I don't know when that'll happen and I likely won't announce it (we'll see). You'll no doubt see the characters I still enjoy in that new space if I move to it and I have no intention from leaving the likes of F-list if you know me from there (although admittedly, I am just as rare on there as I am here these days).
I don't know if many people can relate to this, but I've sort of barely had time for the furry world recently. I've been working a pretty decent job that consumes most of my time and even when I do have free time, outside of the usual hello to a few close friends in the fandom, I don't really feel like I'm a part of it or that I'd honestly like to be a part of some of the more cliquey spaces out there.
Though even with that in mind, I do love being able to share little experiences with the people I do enjoy from the fandom. I still have the odd horny moment and go on a favourite spree or send an RP partner a thirst post (and I enjoy receiving these back from my regulars, so thank you to those who do lol). But outside of the odd kinky thought, most of the time when I think of a thirsty encounter, it's territory I've covered, been there, done that. If it doesn't involve someone I already know, I'm a little hesitant to bother engaging. Does anyone else relate to that after being here as long as some of us have?
I dunno. Just one of those thoughts. I've been talking about retiring Chip as a sona. I may well do this or at the very least, give him a major upgrade/rework in his art department. Once upon a time, I looked up to him (heights permitting) as someone I aspired to be more like, whereas these days, I generally feel like I prefer who I've become and I am working on finishing a new sona to reflect this at some point in the future. My partner likes the idea of having art with this character too, so you might see more of that.
But that's that side of things. Not really much more to say.
"Where's your art gone?"
Just putting this here because I won't be replying to any comments about it elsewhere. I've moved a ton of artwork over to my scraps section. The TL/DR is that I just don't want to support the artist in question and haven't wanted to for quite a while, so it's just a bit of a clean-up. If you're a close friend, you know the deeper backstory there.
I did technically delete 1 submission that I didn't feel comfortable having on this page anymore, but as it had about 300 views, I doubt any of you will know which one it is (except you. You know who you are).
So even though I rarely actually visit it these days (38665 submissions and counting)... - I want my gallery here to support artists who have been really good, genuine, honest people and an absolute pleasure to interact with.
So that's it really. Hope you're all keeping cool. I am open to certain offers on any of my pre-existing characters some of you have been curious or keen on. Naturally, certain ones won't be for sale, but if you do have someone in mind you'd like to ask me about, feel free to poke me.
Kind regards,
Chip / Thorn

Posted 2 years agoHi gang,
I know not everyone reads these, but for the few that do and if we know one another, sorry I've been quiet or a bit distant in recent years. Like everyone else, I've been going through mental health stuff and my priorities haven't always been on checking up on other people.
That said, I just wanted it to be known that because of how frequently distracted I am (I'm currently pursuing a diagnosis for ADHD), I am more than happy to be poked by anyone looking to chat and catch up. Bonus points if you let me know precisely what you want to chat about or what's on your mind (most of you know me from fetishy spaces, so I do not mind a little bit of horny. I tend to let people know if I'm down to chat that way one way or another, generally pretty lightly :) )
But yeah! Basically, don't feel bad poking me multiple times if I haven't replied. Sometimes when I click off a tab, I'm gone. Like, absolutely lost to the wind lol so they're more often than not appreciated, than not and trust me, I'll tell you if I don't have time or don't want them. Promise :)
Anyways, hope to hear from some of you. Lemme know what games you've played recently or whatever else you've been up to 🐭

🎨Want Your Sketches Coloured?🎨
Posted 3 years agoHi peeps!
I'm a little strapped for cash at the moment and I'm looking to supplement that across the coming days with some art projects. I'll be uploading some adoptables over on my Thornstroke profile, so if you're looking to grab some cool characters, I recommend you keep your eye on that, or follow my Twitter over on https://twitter.com/thornstroke for updates.
As for the topic above, I know that I've definitely had some pieces in my art folders just begging to be coloured in (especially those old Patreon sketches!) and if you're in the same boat as me, I'm offering to splash some colour on those bad boys for you, starting at $20 per piece for a basic job (single character, not overly detailed).
So if you do have anything around you want working on, feel free to poke me. I'll aim to get them finished within 24 hours too.
Just drop me a note along with the picture and I'll let you know if I can sort it out for you :)
Other than that, stay well and keep cool!
