Moved from zarelthewinddragon, and may be in the process of moving to somewhere else. The overhaul comes ever closer.
That sounded more ominous than it needed to be.

This is finally it. Let's talk. (not a bad thing I swear)
a year agoI should probably tell you about where I've been and what direction I'm going. Like my last journal, I'm leaving behind both "ZarelTheWindDragon" and "LucianSummers" for a new account...that I already registered the name to two years prior as well. Like I said; I did begin to figure things out and the latter half of 2022 was just where everything clicked together. I mean hell, I have a freakin' FURSUITnow. The me from when I joined FurAffinity in 2009 is pretty much in disbelief of what I'd achieve about 13 years later.
About the whole SFW/NSFW split; this new account will be SFW only. I'm still trying to think of a plan on what to do with my favorites; obviously I can keep the naughty ones private but I think artists will still know when I favorite something of theirs that's lewd, but then again, I am an adult, therefore there's nothing wrong with me liking adult artwork, as long as I keep it to myself.
My art has also changed a bit as well, and gone is the year-or-so-long art block I'd suffered. Essentially I've moved onto Clip Studio Paint and draw using a Samsung tablet now, and what's nice about that is that I always preferred just sketching things since my digital art was scanning my sketches and then painstakingly line-tooling over them and coloring them. The fact I can do sketches and digital coloring and shading together with just a tablet and stylus feels like a massive weight has been lifted off of me. I'm drawing again, and couldn't be happier for it. I can't promise I'll post every day, but it'll hopefully not be just radio silence for a long time.
And I suppose I should address another question y'all might have; am I moving on from modular stuff? Nope! I still like it, I mean hell my new fursona is cybernetic so he's pretty much modular already. I'll likely still follow all the usual modular artists I always have, as well as most of who I'm following already.
One last thing you're probably wondering; what was the struggle? Well, for those that have known me for a long time, the character of Lucian was always planned to have his own original story and universe, and the more I planned that story, the less he felt like a fursona, and started to feel like he was becoming his own thing. As time went on, I saw myself in Lucian less, and knew at that point I had to change. I tried another persona, this time another Pokemon, but felt I still wasn't happy. It took remembering and trying to recapture the old spirit I had back in the pre-Lucian era, some time on VRChat, and a bottle of soft drink to inspire me to try something new, and thus began my transition into a new and set in stone fursona; a RAM-munching, toast-making, beep booping protogen. Once I made that change, I started to feel happier with my furry identity, and, as I mentioned before, crossed the furry fandom Rubicon and got a partial fursuit of him done.
Long story short, I'm back with a new, fresh identity, and I'm going to try testing the waters again.
Goodbye LucianSummers, and hello protoramune!
