I had a fair bit to drink last night, not really hungover today but I'm knackered after yesterday's workout. Mostly spent today in bed binging Breaking Bad (first watch, halfway through season 4) and I've taken a break to do some brainstorming or something akin to that.
I haven't drawn anything for a long time, since April 2021 if these records are right. I've had the odd bout of inspiration, but my creative drive has just been completely inactive so I've not done anything with those feelings. I've mostly snuffed them out as 'not important' while I keep myself going from day-to-day. While it's definitely made my life simpler and easier, now that I'm in a safer and more controlled environment I'm getting a strong urge to reconnect with that part of myself. There's an odd sense of fear or apprehension that makes me hesitate to do so, but it is important. It does matter and I need to let that out again. Even if it's really, really hard to so do.
With that bit of background lain out, I wanted to take a minute to just listen to those thoughts and see where they want to go. Now is a pretty transitional part of my life in a lot of ways, so it's unsurprising that I feel a need to create abstract characters to help me explore that and reflect on who I am now, who I'm becoming and who I want to be. Which is a lengthy way of saying I'm crafting a new fursona.
Pretty sure Tasyr's going to end up being a scaly, I've got some vague ideas for colour schemes and one or two features, but they're still very much under construction. I was browsing Wikipedia doing something along the lines of research, came upon this picture of a black-throated monitor lizard with a great filename and wanted to share.
