~-Silver-
What's a maned wolf, you may ask? It's what I am! Take a fox, make it huge, enlarge the ears, throw in some testosterone, and finish off with a mane. We are few, but awesome. :3 My name is Silver, and I am primarily a graphite artist, though I also have experience with acrylic paints, 3D modeling, colored pencil, and digital. My muse is currently recovering from a near-death experience, so I may sometimes require patience, but I am always looking forward to sharing more inspiration with my furry friends. I am no master of my craft by far, but I am seeking to learn all that I can. With art, I seek to make others feel something powerful, whether that be awe, warmth, inspiration, grief, joy, or perhaps the intense urge to masturbate. (Dogs, after all, are pretty sexy.)
I am socially underdeveloped, but greatly desire companionship. The music that I love, I love like my best friend. I have struggled with depression all my life, but this has made me wiser and gentler. I am lost, but not homeless. To feel happiness is a challenge for me, but to give it to others is often the easiest way. I'm a maned wolf, I don't bark very much, but when I do, you will remember.
Please enjoy my art and let me know what you think. I prefer words over statistics anyway. :3

A Reminder From Your Friend
7 years ago
Hello. How are you?
How long has it been since someone asked you that, and meant it?
Turn here when the shadow hangs above you. This is a place to remind yourself of what is easily forgotten. Remember that what you need most is just a little courage. The hardest part is merely the first step. Remember the power of a simple walk beneath the stars, the time it takes to admire what has already been accomplished. The pull of grief is deceptive, the call of effort is elusive. What would Silver do? What choice would he make? Does it seem hard? Does it seem intolerable? Impossible? Forgive yourself. No one will ever truly know what it is that you suffer. The one who can be most forgiving is yourself. What you feel will begin to change, once you take that first step. Have courage. Leap first, and the net will appear. Step over the barrier, for it is not just a barrier, it is a wall, a wall that conceals the beauty on the other side. What choice would Silver make? How would he look at the challenges of this moment? Of this day?
Change is not merely chosen, it is built, with patience and careful action. Today will not be the day that you triumph or transform. That is okay. Today you will make many mistakes. That is okay. Today you will fail. That is okay. You will grow, but be willing to grow slowly, with patience. Take the time to try once, to seek the wisdom of others, to set apathy aside and simply try. You are stronger than you believe. You are not as hopeless as you often feel. That shadow is merely a powerful illusion, one which separates you from what you truly can do, what you truly can be. Make the choice you wish to make. Step away from Shadow, and step into Silver. And if today is not the day, remember first that there is no tomorrow, there is only today.
Most of all, remember this.
I love you.
-Your friend, Silver.

Endings are just another form of beginning, and the harder an ending is to face, the more hope we bring with us to the next beginning.
