thanks for telling me ^^ ..and don't worry about sharing the link, i think i found the thread you were talking about and just read through it

some of the details there do point to the use of genAI which sucks :/ ..if it gets much worse,, i'll probably consider moving to nekoweb like you're doing (or hosting my site elsewhere).. because i really don't think it should be used *especially* on a site like this, where human creative expression is at the forefront

i’d love to display more of my ocs like you do, but i’ve pretty much stopped drawing these days, so it’s hard for me to make new artwork anymore ;( there are so many cute characters on your site, and some of the projects are still unfinished, so i’m really excited to see what you add next!

thanks for following me first, and i’ll add your button to my page soon too! (by the way, my persona is the yellow-haired character you can see on my site)

wow,, thanks so much! i'm so glad you liked looking through my site :D (and took the time to do so ^^) i do have a tendency to start projects, but then leave them half finished (or, the case with my stories) perfectionism gets the better of me and i feel like redrafting the entire thing ^^;; ..i really do want to try drawing my OCs tho ^^ it's on the ever-growing to-do list for me heehee

i loved checking out your site too..! the aesthetic is perfect and your artstyle is incredible.. i just added your site button to mine :D ..i think i must've missed the comics on my first look of your site,, but i'll be sure to give those a look later (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠) ..also,, one day i hope to make some sort of comic with my OCs ^^

i totally get that feeling. i take my hobbies pretty seriously too, so i tend to keep working on things for a long time :) with drawing, i think once you find a style that feels right and keep practicing, you gradually get better, kind of like handwriting. you seem really patient, so i’m sure you’ll get the hang of it someday! good luck with all your future projects too :)

for art,, I think I'm still figuring out a style i like.. but once i find it, i'll continue to improve it ^^ also,, thanks! i wish you luck with your future projects too!

@lonewriter Omg I would love to see any comics you made with your OCs :OO

@lattematche ..wow! no one really expresses such enthusiasm over the ideas i have.. so i do appreciate it :D ..i really do hope to carry out that idea soon ^^ ..i do have a few ideas for some small little comics,, now just to actually draw them teehee

@lonewriter art is the purest expression of the soul in my eyes, especially with characters you hold dear! I gravitate towards such stuff a lot.

thanks :D ..i'll also add your site button to my site because i did love looking at the unique layout and styling of your site ^^ ..also yea,, i do collect some kinda random things sometimes teehee

thanks so much for the kind words ^^ ..i'll add your site button to mine, i did quite like the relatively simplistic theme of your site,, the black and white images are also really cool :D
