What is your favorite fursona?
This is honestly one of the hardest questions to answer. Because frankly I love when people love their fursona's. When people get enjoyment or euphoria out of seeing their representation drawn, or written about, or any form of creative thing done. It makes me very happy.
If I had to narrow is down a bit I'd love to feature some artist's sona's that really inspire me on many levels! I also hope these artist's don't mind since I will be sharing my opinions based on their sona's. So I truly hope I can express these things as positivity and clearly as I can.
The artist's Vera True sona, Xanthe. Is an endless inspiration not only because they are another poss. But how amazingly detailed the over all design is, the utterly AMAZING anatomy. The mixture of creepy, and cute. Their art in general makes me feel so comfortable.....That might sound a little weird honestly. But I never feel out of place looking at their gallery no matter what it creates and getting to watch Xanthe design grow over the years has been a wonderful treat.
The artist Heartspark Sona Dove. Not only is that color pallet to die for, every time they update the design or tweak it a little bit. Dove has never not once from this outsiders opinion seems not like Dove. The core of this design is always brought such soft and cozy vibes and has always been so strong. I wanna sit and have girly talk with overly expensive drinks while looking at pictures of baby animals with this design. That is how this makes me feel. If I could once tweak Belle and not have her lose that strong core design, I will know I have learned something from Doves design.
The artist Shell Miiiiiight bonk me for this, They are one of if not the strongest character concept artist's I have ever gotten the pleasure of learning from. While they might not think it themselves, not once have I looked at a design they have done for themselves of their sona and not instantly seen her in them. It doesn't matter the form, that is very much the colorful and amazing person before me that is Shell. I hope Blu makes them feel as warm and comfortable as their designs make other people feel.
There's are just a few of the artist's who's sona's inspire me in different ways and that I utterly love. I really hope no one gets bothered by what I shared.
Why do you live in the United States?
Belle is your fursona, right?
Yes Belle is indeed my fursona. My very tired witch opossum. While like many Belle does have her own Lore that isn't my life, she is also still really the best rep for me. I like to think when Belle is all dressed up it's the character, but looking drab and with extra bags under their eyes. It's just me. I am kenough lol
Your icon is cool! Where is it from?
Hmm not sure if you expressly mean here, or where you found the link. So I will answer like this! hopefully I get the one you meant
alterspring - I drew it, That is my fursona Bella sipping the barbie drink while wearing the 'I am Kenough" sweater from the movie. Which I still want very badly -.-
Bluesky - I drew both of my icons. One just features Belle, the other Clover!
Furaffinity - features the Belle version of this years pride icons.
I though I love changing up my icons a lot lol so hopefully I got the right one XD
Do you have any pets?
Why don’t you want to stop making art as StrangelyIndecisive/SweetVixsin?
Disclaimer this is me talking about ME and my experiences. This isn't to reflect on anyone else's disabilities or experiences
Art first and for most, is the first thing I had ever had that felt like my learning disabilities didn't weight me down. I constant additional mental load just to appear "normal" or like I'm some competent being who can do " what everyone else does, and finds so easy". It was the first time I started to enjoy something remotely like this and learned that I am competent. I just take a bit longer and that doesn't make me stupid or unworthy.
So to stop making art in general, would remove apart of myself that I don't think I could live without. Now it doesn't have to be under the StrangelyIndecisive or Sweetvixsin names. But that is where I am currently, though I have often thought about changing my name and rebranding.
What made StrangelyIndecisive/SweetVixsin successful?
I wouldn't really call myself successful by any means.
But I've kept it going because I'm not 100% sure what I'd do without it. I've done this work on and off since I was 16 years old. I've made mistakes, taken breaks, gotta so burnt out I had a mild break down. But I keep going because somewhere I just love doing it. I don't think I'll ever be what would be considered successful but I take wins where I can get them.
Now I majorly need to learn to draw more for myself as I 100% use commissions and people telling me what to draw as a crutch to hide behind not actually sharing or showing things. But I'm....growing lol
